(Brought to mind by the movie of the same name)<\/p>\n
Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art—
\nNot in lone splendour hung aloft the night
\nAnd watching, with eternal lids apart,
\nLike nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite,
\nThe moving waters at their priestlike task
\nOf pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
\nOr gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
\nOf snow upon the mountains and the moors—
\nNo—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
\nPillowed upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
\nTo feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
\nAwake for ever in a sweet unrest,
\nStill, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
\nAnd so live ever—or else swoon in death.
