Love is a star that lights the night Of life, and makes its fancies bright As days of June with June's perfume; A star that melts the clinging gloom And makes the heart's dark chambers light. To any depth, from any height Its light doth leap; the dusk of doom Could not its silver trace consume Love is a star. It shines undimmed, a beacon white To Faith's unwavering, trustful sight. 'Mid warp and woof it findeth room And weaves bright thoughts on Sorrow's loom With lovestrung threads of pure delight. Love is a star. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LAND OF DREAMS by WILLIAM BLAKE ODES: BOOK 1: ODE 6.
