WATCH her kindly, stars; From the sweet protecting skies Follow her with tender eyes, Look so lovingly that she Cannot choose but think of me: Watch her kindly, stars! Soothe her sweetly, night: On her eyes, o'erwearied, press The tired lids with light caress; Let that shadowy hand of thine Ever in her dreams seem mine: Soothe her sweetly, night! Wake her gently, morn: Let the notes of early birds Seem like love's melodious words; Every pleasant sound my dear, When she stirs from sleep should hear: Wake her gently, morn! Kiss her softly, winds: Softly, that she may not miss Any sweet, accustomed bliss; On her lips, her eyes, her face, Till I come to take your place, Kiss and kiss her, winds! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE BAY FIGHT by HENRY HOWARD BROWNELL SEASHORE (1) by RALPH WALDO EMERSON NATURE'S QUESTIONING by THOMAS HARDY SORROW by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE THE CORAL INSECT by LYDIA HUNTLEY SIGOURNEY ELEGIAC SONNET: 4.
