Poem A Day

Classic poem

The Evening Star

by Walter Savage Landor

Smiles soon abate; the boisterous throes

Of anger long burst forth;

Inconstantly the south-wind blows,

But steadily the north.

Thy star, O Venus! often changes

Its radiant seat above,

The chilling pole-star never ranges --

'Tis thus with Hate and Love.
