Michael Sails a Distant Star

Charles D. du Gui

Michael Sails a Distant Star
He Wears a Stellar Mane
Michael Rides a Solar Wind
Oh, Michael, Speak my Name!

Michael Rules the Pleiades
He Wears Orion's Belt
Michael Rides the Centaur's Back
His Touches I have Felt

Michael knows Andromeda
And every Foreign Land
Michael Holds the Comet's Tail
Oh, Michael, Hold my Hand!

Michael Sails a Distant Star
To Planets Old and New
Michael Rides the Midnight Sky
Oh, Michael, Take me too!
