"Bright Star"

In this poem, the speaker expresses why he would want to be a star and tells of the things he dislikes about stars. He likes how stars are steadfast. The word 'steadfast' is repeated several times to enforce that is why he would want to be a star. He is in love and he does not want that to change. In the poem it states, "Not in lone splendor hung aloft the night...". He does not want to be lonely. He wants to lay with his lover forever and their love remain steadfast. He would not want to just stand at a distance and watch the world like a lonely star.
