THISTLEDOWN: 17 by CORA RANDALL FABBRI

First Line: THERE WAS A STAR
Last Line: IN MY HEART.
THERE was a star
Which out of the height of heaven fell,
And was lost, ah me!
The beautiful star fell into the sea,
And falling, was folded into a shell,
And the beautiful star became a pearl
In the sea.

There was a smile
Which out of her eyes' blue heaven fell
As the sunbeams dart.
The beautiful smile fell into my heart,
And falling, was folded in Love's sweet shell,
And the beautiful smile became a song
In my heart.
