On a night when Perseus ruled the sky

Stars, like rain, fell from heaven high

I set out to  trap this streaking beam

And offer a piece of universe as gift

To sleeping princess; granting her a wish

.

Although streaking arrows came within my reach

They burned too quickly for me to keep

Turned to stone as if Medusa seen

So I reflected my final wish from stars that flew

To sleeping princess;  may all her dreams come true
