Evening Star
'Evening Star' Summary
The speaker of the poem is mourning the loss of his beloved. He is filled with grief and despair, and he feels as if he is being consumed by the darkness. He wanders through a desolate landscape, seeking solace, but he cannot find it. The only thing that gives him any comfort is the beauty of the evening star. The evening star is a symbol of hope and renewal, and it reminds the speaker that there is still beauty in the world, even in the midst of his grief.Book Details
