Bright Star- John Keats

This entire poem is an apostrophe. The speaker is addressing the bright star and wondering what it would be like to be the star. First, the speaker envies the star and wishes it could be "steadfast" like the star. I think what the speaker means is that stars remain in one place and are unchangeable. The speaker wants his love to remain unchangeable. However, then the speaker moves into some doubts about being a star. "Lone splendor" is something that the speaker does not want because he wants to remain with his love, not be alone. The phrases "my fair love's ripening breast" and "her tender-taken breath" imply that the speaker is male and longs to be with his woman. The phrase "and so live ever-or else swoon to death" implies that the speaker would rather die than be without his love. One of the questions asked what the meaning of repeating the word "still" was. I think the speaker was trying to emphasis how a star remains still and how his love remains faithful. The apostrophe was effective because it's almost like the speaker was having a conversation with the star and was discussing the positives and negatives of being a star.
