Wishing Star

I had to write a ballad for my British Literature class, with certain vocabulary words and parameters, etc. I thought you guys should read it:

WISHING STAR

Upon the oceanic shores
Of the deep pacific
Roams a man named Theodore
His heart and soul romantic

His spirit though is shattered still
For luxuries he lacks
Born and raised in families poor
Wandering far and back

And through his lonely travels long,
He stole a glimpse of She
Her supple hair and bright green eyes
And coy personality

And on this shore, this sanded heath
Nighttime stilled the water
Breathlessly gazing towards the sky,
In heart there was no other

At last the first bright star appeared
It’s rays of light numerous
And Theodore closed his tired eyes
And made a nighttime wish

Down from above, out of the heavens
Appeared the nighttime sovereign
Whose been watching over Theodore
With thoughts of great concern.

“Theodore, you now wished upon it,
A wish upon the star!
I’ve waited years, solicitous
For you to call afar

“A star I’ll grant you, with one wish,
Please use it with caution”
And back into the nighttime sky,
He rejoined oblivion

Theodore sat holding his star
Falling off it glitter
He thought of all he could accrue
Eminence and sundry treasure.

And yet, though poverty stricken
He only thought of Her.
That seemly voice and sweet, sweet smell.
Her love he did aspire.

He dashed agile to her hostelry
And caught her staring high
At the moon, and at the night,
And of the stars that occupy

He reached out his cold and shaking hands,
Bestowing her the star
“It’ll grant you any wish, my lady,
I received it from afar.”

The maiden smiled, her cheeks reddening,
She stared into his eyes.
And Theodore stared back into hers,
Hers, seeming much more wise.

She took the gift and threw it back
At the night, the black sky
Theodore fell, his feelings crushed
The lady then replied,

“I’ve seen you here, your heart is pure,
Yet hopeless you do feel,
And wishes are for the hopeless only,
And hopeless not, I repeal.

“A star we need not wish upon,
Hopeless you shouldn’t be.
For always now, always forever
You eternally have me.”
