Title:     Move Eastward, Happy Earth..
Author: Alfred Lord Tennyson [More Titles by Tennyson]

First published in 1842.

Move eastward, happy earth, and leave
Yon orange sunset waning slow:
From fringes of the faded eve,
O, happy planet, eastward go;
Till over thy dark shoulder glow
Thy silver sister-world, and rise
To glass herself in dewy eyes
That watch me from the glen below.

Ah, bear me with thee, smoothly [1] borne,
Dip forward under starry light,
And move me to my marriage-morn,
And round again to happy night.

[Footnote 1: 1842 to 1853. Lightly.]

[The end]
Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem: Move Eastward, Happy Earth..
