Vega, you appear at once

Vega, you appear at once

Within your shady fold

And I am so fortunate

To catch your torrid glow.

Know that God gave you glory

When first He lit your flame.

Summer's curtain parts for you;

Deneb leads the pathway.

I cannot slow your travels

Nor place you in a bind;

Can I then meet your Maker

Some other eventide?
