You are My Lucky Star...

("Bright Star", Keats)

Throughout this poem, the speaker is addressing in apostrophe. The object of attention is "found in the stars" as the hopelessly-in-love speaker dwells over his lover. The purpose of an apostrophe is to reveal the internal thoughts of the speaker, which is shown in this display of yearning and desire.

The speaker uses the stars to explain his specific desires. He wishes to remain frozen in the current moment with his love, forever shining and constant. He is completely dazed by this relationship, willing to die rather than go without it. This feeling is captured in the song "You are my Lucky Star" from the classic romantic movie Singing in the Rain. The distance in between him and the stars seems to support his mood of longing and proclamation, giving the "shout it from the mountains" feel. Unfortunately, the world will go on; the speaker will have to become the stars he is speaking to and change.
