Scintillate, scintillate, globule vivific
Fain would I fathom thy nature specific
Loftily poised in the ether capacious
Strongly resembling a gem carbonaceous!
Scintillate, scintillate, globule vivific
Fain would I fathom thy nature specific
When torrid Phoebus removeth his presence
Ceasing to lamp us with fierce incandescence
Then you illumine the regions supernal
Scintillate, scintillate, semper nocturnal.
Scintillate, scintillate, globule vivific
Fain would I fathom thy nature specific
The traveler on lusterless peregrination
Gratefully hails your minute coruscation
He could not determine his journey’s direction
But for your bright scintillating protection.
Scintillate, scintillate, globule vivific
Fain would I fathom thy nature specific
(Author unknown but this is believed to date from the mid 19th century)
