The ten stars

In the motion of the universe,
The rotation of planets,
The conjuction of the wind,
There my sight witnesses,
The opposition of stars
Rare but wonderfully made

I count the stars and make my wish,
My summit shall i reach,
With her in poverty i'm rich
Im a happy man,
I saw ten stars

Star number one,
Besides you let there be none,
Star number two,
To love you more, never a few,
Star number three,
My love unto you for free
Star number four,
The love we built to never fall,
Star number five,
How wonderful are they, ten stars

In this lonely night my heart beats faster,
I make wishes, but they are not my master,
I point the stars and make wishes,
How beautiful are they, ten stars

Star number six,
So shall our foes fall by the axe
Star number seven,
Against all odds we remain even
Star number eight,
We shall so grow above heights,
Star number nine,
Of course, , to remain mine
Star number ten
I wish to make hundred wishes per day
How beautiful are they, ten stars

Poem Analysis  In this poem, the poet uses different words and symbols to further emphasize as well as express the message he is trying to bring across to his readers.

The poet uses stars as a symbol for one wish. For each wish, he wishes for something to happen between him and someone he knows. The poet also repeatedly describes the stars as 'beautiful' and 'wonderful' which carries a positive connotation and that suggests that the poet treasures the wishes extremely much and is in awe of them. The poet also wishes for love related things, which explains why he chose stars as symbols. Stars are magical and mystical and they give on a romantic vibe which appeals to the reader's emotions and will help the reader understand the kind of love the poet is wishing for. By using stars to symbolize his wishes, the poet is further signifying the importance of his wishes and giving them deeper meanings than their literal ones.

The phrase 'With her in poverty i'm rich' suggests that the poet feels like the wishes are able to provide with things that he is not able to achieve by himself.
