"Nap of a Star" 是由Rudyard Kipling寫的一首詩,它描述了一個小星星在夜空中閃爍,然後熄滅的過程。然而,這並不是一首歌曲,因此沒有特定的歌詞。以下是這首詩的英文原文:
"The nap of a star is a thing that may be seen
In the night when the day is done,
And the sun is a ball of fire,
And the moon is a round of frost and rain,
And the clouds are a drifting of fire and steam.
"And the napping star it has ceased to shine,
And wept for itself as stars will weep,
But no man said it was gone for ever,
And the cloud was all around it still,
And the light was a point in the darkness.
"So it goes down to hell and heaven,
In the mists of a cloud or a dream,
But all through the long day after,
The men may behold it peep
Over all the range of the welkin-creeks."
這首詩非常具有象徵性和隱喻性,所以它並沒有特定的歌詞,而是通過描繪一個微小而閃爍的星星在夜空中熄滅和再次閃耀的過程,來表達對生命、死亡和永恆的思考。
