Love
Catherine, 1
Translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring (1908) · From New Poems: Catherine
Love
A beauteous star arises o’er my night,
A star which smiles down on me comfort bright,
And new life pledges to supply,--
O do not lie!
As leaps to the moon the sea with sullen roar,
So gladly, wildly, doth my spirit soar
Up to thy blissful light on high,--
O do not lie!
