Under the sky where constellations talk,
Pollux shines bright in Gemini's walk.
Avior in Carina, a southern light,
Guiding sailors through the night.
Suhail in Vela, with a radiant glow,
In the ship's sails, its light does show.
Miaplacidus in Carina's domain,
A star that calms like gentle rain.
Alphard in Hydra, a serpent's heart,
A lone bright star, set apart.
In this sky, where stories guard,
Pollux, Avior, Suhail, Miaplacidus, Alphard.

A bright star where the lion’s path bends.

A celestial bird in the night.
