ODE TO THE EVENING STAR, by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Lovely hesperus arise Last Line: Gild the merry merry scene. Alternate Author Name(s): Browne, Felicia Dorothea Subject(s): Evening Star | ||||||||
LOVELY Hesperus arise, Why so tardy, glittering star ? See already in the skies, Cynthia guides her beaming car. The night is placid, sweet, and clear, Hesperus, appear, appear. Deign this festive eve to bless, Thou, than glowing gems more bright! Beaming in thy fairest dress, Shed thy lustre on the night. Auspicious Hesperus, appear, In thy radiance, soft and clear. From the busy world retiring, Now the pensive eve we hail; Let thy ray so calm inspiring, Cheer us in this happy vale: Hesperus, arise, arise, Shine amid the azure skies. Light as gossamer that's borne Floating on the breath of morn; Light as fays that haunt the shade, We lead the dance along the glade: Hesper with thy light serene, Gild the merry merry scene. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE EVENING STAR by THOMAS CAMPBELL ODES: BOOK 1: ODE 15.
