NGC 2237 - The "Rosette Nebula", and Globular Star Cluster NGC 2244

“And we shall walk, when we will meet again,
Then we shall talk, all alone and, maybe,
Hand in hand…
In the old town's park
Too, maybe, little
Surely too cold and lost and dark

And yet so ours
And yet so fine
And yet so friend
Dear friend of mine ...

So we shall walk and you will hold me again,
Then we shall talk, all alone and, maybe,
Hand in hand…
Along our old town's school
Too, maybe, empty
Surely too grey and lost and cool

And yet so ours
And yet so fine
And yet so friend
Dear friend of mine ...

And I'll be kissing you
Right on your hair and on your heart of snow…
And I'll be swearing, too,
My always ageless and everlasting Love…

And you shall listen
And then you'll swear to me,
The whole your Life
Or what remains to be…

As if nothing had ever happened
As if nothing had ever changed
As if we never left
As if this Time, itself,
My time and yours, and everybody's one
Had never passed away,
And never gone...

And then, we shall walk again,
All alone and, maybe, hand in hand…
Along our memories,
So clear and still and bright
So long as long are shadows,
So long as long are Winter's night…

And yet so ours
And yet so fine
And yet so friend
Dear friend of mine ...”
