TO THE EVENING STAR, by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: O meek attendant of sol's setting blaze
Last Line: Her spirit in thy kindred orb, o star benign!
First Line: O meek attendant of sol's setting blaze
Last Line: Her spirit in thy kindred orb, o star benign!
O meek attendant of Sol's setting blaze,
I hail, sweet star, thy chaste effulgent glow;
On thee full oft with fixed eye I gaze
Till I, methinks, all spirit seem to grow.
O first and fairest of the starry choir,
O loveliest' mid the daughters of the night,
Must not the maid I love like thee inspire
Pure joy and calm Delight?
Must she not be, as is thy placid sphere,
Serenely brilliant? Whilst to gaze a while
Be all my wish 'mid Fancy's high career
E'en till she quit this scene of earthly toil;
Then Hope perchance might fondly sigh to join
Her spirit in thy kindred orb, O Star benign!
