THE EVENING STAR, by THOMAS CAMPBELL Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Star that bringest home the bee Last Line: By absence from the heart. Variant Title(s): Song To The Evening Star;to The Evening Star (2) Subject(s): Evening Star; Nature | ||||||||
STAR that bringest home the bee, And sett'st the weary laborer free! If any star shed peace, 't is thou, That send'st it from above, Appearing when heaven's breath and brow Are sweet as hers we love. Come to the luxuriant skies, Whilst the landscape's odors rise, Whilst far-off lowing herds are heard, And songs when toil is done, From cottages where smoke unstirred Curls yellow in the sun. Star of love's soft interviews, Parted lovers on thee muse; Their remembrancer in heaven Of thrilling vows thou art, Too delicious to be riven By absence from the heart. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
