To a Star Seen at Twilight my beloved
I’m not the biggest poetry person
More of a prose gal myself
But boy do I love To a Star Seen at Twilight

“Yet thou’rt not proud, like man,
Though thy broad mirror is the sea,
And thy calm home eternity!”

“I love to gaze upon
Thy speaking face, thy calm, fair brow,
And feel my spirit dark
And deep, grow bright and pure as thou.
Like thee it stands alone:
Like thee its native home is night,
But there the likeness ends,—
It beams not with thy steady light.”

“I would all men might look
Upon thy pure sublimity,
And in their bosoms drink
Thy lovliness and light like me;
For who in all the world
Could gaze upon thee thus, and feel
Aught in his nature base,
Or mean, or low, around him steal!”

“Thou art the throne
Of thy own spirit, star!
And mighty things must be alone.
Alone the ocean heaves,
Or calms his bosom into sleep;
Alone each mountain stands
Upon its basis broad and deep”

And those are just my favorite parts
This poem is so cool
