Thomas Campbell - Song to the Evening StarThomas Campbell - Song to the Evening Star
Work rating: Medium


Star that bringest home the bee,     And sett`st the weary labourer free!     If any star shed peace, `tis 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 odours rise,     Whilst far-off lowing herds are heard,        And songs, when toil is done,    From cottages whose smoke unstirred        Curls yellow in the sun.      Star of lover`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.
