Little Star For Esther
The silver moon begins to glow
While gentle breezes softly blow
A tiny light begins to peep
While all the garden falls asleep
Dear Esther, see the velvet sky
Where golden sparks go dancing by
A million diamonds, bright and clear
To whisper that the night is here
The milky way is spinning slow
With a warm and steady glow
Rest your head in cozy light
Until the sun brings back the bright

What does the name Esther mean?
Origin — Persian
Most likely from the Persian stara, “star”.
Where sources disagree: A competing derivation links it to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar. The Book of Esther gives its heroine a Hebrew name, Hadassah, alongside this one, which is itself evidence of a foreign root.
We follow the standard reference works on given names, and we say so plainly when a meaning is unsettled rather than choosing the prettiest one.
