When Stars are in the quiet Skies
Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton
When stars are in the quiet skies, Then most I pine for thee; Bend on me then thy tender eyes, As stars look on the sea.

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker longs for their beloved most when stars fill the calm sky. They ask to be looked upon with tender eyes. Just as stars gaze gently down on the sea, they hope to be gazed upon with affection.
