Beautiful stars! in other days
The prophet's eye might read your rays;
And tell of many a strange event,
Of warfare, and of warning sent.
I would not wish to know the fate
Of purple crown or royal state.
The stars might show to other eyes
Their deep and mighty mysteries—
Enough for me to know them fair,
And read my lover's safety there.

--"The Stars" by Letitia Elizabeth Landon

Everybody is a star
I can feel it when you shine on me
I love you for who you are
Not the one you feel you need to be

--"Everybody Is a Star" 1969 by Sylvester Stewart

"Quiet nights of quiet stars"--"Corcovado"

A star is a luminous celestial body of plasma, having a spherical shape and held together by its own gravity.

The nearest star to Earth is the Sun, which is the source of most of the planet's energy. Some other stars are visible from Earth during the night, appearing as a multitude of fixed luminous points due to their immense distance.
