Bright Star I

Bright star! would were steadfast as thou
art
Not in lone splendor hung aloft the night,
And watching with eternal lids apart,
Like Natures patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priest-like task
OF pure ablution round earth's human
shores,
Or gazing on the new soft fallen mask
OF snow upon the mountains and the
moors-
No-yet still steadfast. still unchageable,
Pillowed upon my fair loves ripening
breast,
To feel forever It's soft fall and swell,
Awake forever In a sweet unrest:
Still. still to hear her tender-taken breath
Half-passionless. and so swoon on to death.
