And the bright stars have grown accustomed to my watching.

So if I am absent from them, they ask about me.
If I am absent from them, they ask after me

A rising star among them meets me with a greeting.
One rises to greet me with acquiescence
And a setting star among them gestures farewell.
Another says farewell with heartfelt regret
