Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou artΓÇö
Not in lone splendor hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like natureΓÇÖs patient sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earthΓÇÖs human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moorsΓÇö
NoΓÇöyet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
Pillowed upon my fair loveΓÇÖs ripening breast,
To feel forever its soft fall and swell,
