Bright Star

The speaker is talking about how much he likes the beautiful star. He wants to be like it. He likes how it is steadfast and stays in the same spot. He wants to be like that with his love. He wants to stay in the same spot with her forever. He goes on to say that the only thing he doesn't like is that the star is alone. He clearly doesn't want to be alone forever; he wants to be with his love. The speaker personifies the star as "natures hermit", in that it lives forever in the same spot. My favorite part is that he wants it forever of he will swoon to death. Swoon means to faint at the peak of exhileration. This is confusing because he is saying he wants to die of happiness? I understand what he means, though. He wants it forever or he doesn't want it at all. That is how bad he wants to be with his love forever.
