A Romanian poem, which I heard in Everyday Up. It seems that when we see the stars, they may already be dead.

Look at the stars

Romania-My Emmenescu

We are with the stars rising in the sky.

Far, far away

It takes thousands of years to shine.

Come and see us.

It's in the deep blue sky.

It may have been extinct long ago.

But its light has just

Shine in our eyes
