Answer:

Bright Star” is a sonnet by the British Romantic poet John Keats. Written in 1818 or 1819, the poem is a passionate declaration of undying, constant love. The speaker wants to be “stedfast”—constant and unchanging—like the “bright star” described in the poem’s first eight lines. But, unlike the “bright star,” the speaker does not want to be isolated or distant from human life: instead, the speaker wants to spend eternity locked in a passionate embrace with his or her lover. The speaker fantasizes about this unchanging love—but it's not clear whether it can actually be achieved in real life. As the speaker acknowledges in the poem's final line, his or her fantasy is fragile, threatened by the death and change that eventually overwhelm all human beings.

“Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art” Summary

Bright star, I want to be as steady and unchanging as you are—though I don’t want to hang alone in the night sky, with my eyes always open, like a hermit who never goes to sleep, patiently watching the earth’s oceans wash the shores in the same way that a priest ceremonially washes people to purify them, or looking at the new-fallen snow on the mountains and hills. I don’t want to be still in that sense, but I do want to be steady and unchanging, lying on my beautiful lover’s chest, always feeling its rising and falling, always awake, in a pleasant sleeplessness, always hearing her breathe in and out. I want to live that way forever—or I want to die.
