Stop, ageless star, kissing my desire That night has fed with dreams of lasting fire And see the charging river such kisses have unhearsed: For pale and pointless as the stony ground 5 Have I lain with whispers until by night immersed And in that night await your silent burning sound! I look to you when my youth deceives me And all the tempest of my indignant blood Throws the sauntering seas of daydream into fever: 10 Ever calm above these opposing storming seas That meet in my breast and cancel You stare, bright star, in vauntless victory ever!
