All the Distant Stars

All their rhymes, of the stars
Sound the same, they are breathing
No! Sound like sighing over the tiresome
Void of night ---

The same scene they witness:
The tiresome void of night ---
Their brightness contrasted;
Their sigh: unjust.

The sun is also a star, yet ever shone
In the clear, blue sky
Never it tasted the tiresome void
Of night ---

How far are the others?
Stretched in the far-off distance,
But have kept their brightness
Though always paired with darkness.

Why detest the dark void?
It gives you luminance ---
Proud! All gazes at you
With wonders in their eyes.
