The Morning Star

Look toward yonder Morning Star And follow the staircase to your dreams Love will find you where ‘ere you are So cast your garlands in the streams See them catch the golden sun beams Gaze steadily upon its brilliant light It calls us, 'come meet the glorious dawn' It is the prize to keep in sight As it is from light that pure love was born And apart, the twain shall not be torn This path is rugged; the journey long At times we’ll stumble and look away We’ll be accused of the same old song Still, we must rise each time and be on our way Light and love for us all shall never stray ~*~ 12/14/2011 English Quintain Contest *5th Place

A good English Quintain, Annalise. In the first line of the second verse, just change "steady" to "steadily" for correct grammar purposes.
