WHERE I A STAR, by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE Poet's Biography First Line: Were I a star, I would not shine Last Line: That she was searching heaven for me. Subject(s): Courtship; Love; Stars | |||
WERE I a star, I would not shine Save when my Love was looking forth With star-like eyes, surpassing fine And clustered glories of the north. And if a ray from me should sink Upon her face, her peerless breast, It could not tremble on the brink Of deeper lustre, truer rest. Ah, surely, if her gleaming hand Should prison this one summer night, I might come down to wonderland, Made mortal, to regain my light! Were I a star, I would not shine Save when my Love looked up to see Star flash to star a silver sign That she was searching heaven for me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EPIC STARS by ROBINSON JEFFERS HYMN TO THE STARS by GEORGE LAWRENCE ANDREWS CHRISTMAS TREE by JOHN FREDERICK NIMS CLEMATIS MONTANA by MADELINE DEFREES THE UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE by JAMES GALVIN TO SEE THE STARS IN DAYLIGHT by JAMES GALVIN THE COUNTRY FAITH by NORMAN ROWLAND GALE |
