What is the topic?

The topic of this poem is love.  In this poem, the speaker
is using the idea of the star that shines bright and eternally as a way of talking about
his love for a woman.


In this poem, the speaker talks about
how he would like to be as steadfast -- as reliable and eternal -- as a star.  But the
point of being like that would have nothing to do with the natural world.  The reason
that he wants to be as eternal and reliable as the star is so that he could experience
love that would be that lasting.  He wants to stay in love forever and experience
forever the feeling of being in the presence of his love.
