Queen of the stars so gentle so benign	A
That ancient Fable did to thee assign	A
When darkness creeping o'er thy silver brow	B
Warned thee these upper regions to forego	C
Alternate empire in the shades below	C
A Bard who lately near the wide spread sea	D
Traversed by gleaming ships looked up to thee	D
With grateful thoughts doth now thy rising hail	E
From the close confines of a shadowy vale	E
Glory of night conspicuous yet serene	F
Nor less attractive when by glimpses seen	F
Through cloudy umbrage well might that fair face	G
And all those attributes of modest grace	G
In days when Fancy wrought unchecked by fear	H
Down to the green earth fetch thee from thy sphere	H
To sit in leafy woods by fountains clear	H
	-
O still beloved for thine meek Power are charms	I
That fascinate the very Babe in arms	I
While he uplifted towards thee laughs outright	J
Spreading his little palms in his glad Mother's sight	J
	-
O still beloved once worshiped Time that frowns	K
In his destructive flight on earthly crowns	K
Spares thy mild splendour still those far shot beams	L
Tremble on dancing waves and rippling streams	L
With stainless touch as chaste as when thy praise	M
Was sung by Virgin choirs in festal lays	M
And through dark trials still dost thou explore	N
Thy way for increase punctual as of yore	N
When teeming Matrons yielding to rude faith	O
In mysteries of birth and life and death	P
And painful struggle and deliverance prayed	Q
Of thee to visit them with lenient aid	Q
What though the rites be swept away the fanes	M
Extinct that echoed to the votive strains	M
Yet thy mild aspect does not cannot cease	M
Love to promote and purity and peace	M
And Fancy unreproved even yet may trace	M
Faint types of suffering in thy beamless face	M
	-
Then silent Monitress let us not blind	R
To worlds unthought of till the searching mind	R
Of Science laid them open to mankind	R
Told also how the voiceless heavens declare	S
God's glory and acknowledging thy share	S
In that blest charge let us without offense	M
To aught of highest holiest influence	M
Receive whatever good 'tis given thee to dispense	M
May sage and simple catching with one eye	T
The moral intimations of the sky	T
Learn from thy course where'er their own be taken	U
To look on tempests and be never shaken	U
To keep with faithful step the appointed way	V
Eclipsing or eclipsed by night or day	V
And from example of thy monthly range	W
Gently to brook decline and fatal change	W
Meek patient steadfast and with loftier scope	X
Than thy revival yields for gladsome hope	X
