'Twas noontide of summer,
And midtime of night,
And stars, in their orbits,
Shone pale, through the light
Of brighter, cold moon.
'Mid planets her slaves,
Herself in Heavens,
Her beam on the waves.
I gazed awhile
her cold smile;
Too cold—too cold for me—
There passed, as a shroud,
A fleecy cloud,
And I turned to thee,
Proud Evening Star,
In thy glory afar
dearer thy beam shall be;
For joy to my
Is the proud part
Thou bearest in Heaven at night,
And more I admire
Thy distant fire,
Than that colder, lowly light.
