THE stars are with the voyager Wherever he may sail; The moon is constant to her time; The sun will never fail; But follow, follow round the world, The green earth and the sea, So love is with the lover's heart, Wherever he may be. Wherever he may be, the stars Must daily lose their light; The moon will veil her in the shade; The sun will set at night. The sun may set, but constant love Will shine when he's away; So that dull night is never night, And day is brighter day. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON DEATH, WITHOUT EXAGGERATION by WISLAWA SZYMBORSKA THE GOOD GREAT MAN by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE EPITAPH ON A HARE by WILLIAM COWPER LULLABY by CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSON THE RESPECTABLE BURGHER, ON 'THE HIGHER CRITICISM' by THOMAS HARDY THE LAST CHANTEY by RUDYARD KIPLING SONNET: THE EVENING STAR by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW |
