:Bright star! would I were steadfast as thou art —
 
:Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night,
 
:And watching, with eternal lids apart,
:Bright star! would I were steadfast as thou art —  
:Like Nature’s patient sleepless Eremite,
:Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night,  
:And watching, with eternal lids apart,  
:Like Nature’s patient sleepless Eremite,  
:The moving waters at their priestlike task
:The moving waters at their priestlike task
:Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,  
:Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
:Or gazing on the new soft fallen mask  
:Or gazing on the new soft fallen mask
:Of snow upon the mountains and the moors —  
:Of snow upon the mountains and the moors —
:No — yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,  
:No — yet still steadfast, still unchangeable,
:Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
:Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
:To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,  
:To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
:Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,  
:Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
:Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,  
:Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
:And so live ever — or else swoon to death.
:And so live ever — or else swoon to death.

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,
The moving waters at their priestlike 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 unchangeable,
Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever — or else swoon to death.
