Evening Star

'Twas noontide of summer
And mid-time of night
And stars, in their orbits
Shone pale, thro' the light

Of the brighter, cold moon
'Mid planets her slaves
Herself in the Heavens
Her beam on the waves

I gazed awhile
On her cold smile
Too cold for me
Too cold for me

There pass'd, as a shroud
A fleecy cloud
And I turned away to thee
Proud Evening Star
In thy glory afar
And dearer thy beam shall be
And dearer thy beam shall be

For joy to my heart
Is the proud part
Thou bearest in Heaven at night
And more I admire
Thy distant fire
Than that colder, lowly light

For joy to my heart
Is the proud part
Thou bearest in Heaven at night
And more I admire
Thy distant fire
Than that colder, lowly light

I gazed awhile
On her cold smile
Too cold for me
Too cold for me

There pass'd, as a shroud
A fleecy cloud
And I turned away to thee
Proud Evening Star
In thy glory afar
And dearer thy beam shall be
And dearer thy beam shall be
