Bright star would I were steadfast as thou art-
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching with eternal lids apart
Like nature's patient sleepless Eremite
Bright star never fading
Guiding light love cascading
Hold me close through endless time
Bright star forever mine
Pillowed upon my fair love's ripening breast
To feel forever its soft fall and swell
Pillowed upon my fair love's ripening breast
To feel forever its soft fall and swell
Pillowed upon my fair love's ripening breast
To feel forever its soft fall and swell
