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...ADAM AND HIS FATHER by KAREN SWENSON MOTHER NATURE by EMILY DICKINSON ESCAPE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ON BOARD THE '76; WRITTEN FOR BRYANT'S SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL L.E.L. by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI UPON MY LADY CARLISLE'S WALKING IN HAMPTON COURT GARDEN by JOHN SUCKLING |
