Evening Star

Edgar Allan Poe


'Twas noontide of summer,

And midtime of night;

And stars, in their orbits,

Shone pale, through the light

5 Of the brighter, cold moon,

'Mid planets her slaves,

Herself in the Heavens,

Her beam on the waves.

I gazed awhile

10 On her cold smile;

Too cold—too cold for me—

There passed, as a shroud,

A fleecy cloud,

And I turned away to thee,

15 Proud Evening Star,

In thy glory afar,

And dearer thy beam shall be;

For joy to my heart

Is the proud part

20 Thou bearest in Heaven at night,

And more I admire

Thy distant fire,

Than that colder, lowly light.
