A Shooting Star by Edith M. Thomas
A Shooting Star
From Aridane's Crown
Something came flashing down
Over the distant town,
Over the river and sleeping farms;
The planets above seemed to wink
As they watched the traveler sink;
And motherly Earth, I think,
May have folded a little lost star in her arms.
-Edith M. Thomas
