Error Correction in Keats' Poetry

Bright star! would I were steadfast as thou art—Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night, And watching, with eternal lids apart, Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite, The moving waters at their priestlike task Of pure ablution round earth's human face, Sleep, and repose, and suddenly draw back, And, in the blue, the stars, the moon, the sun, And, with their fires, the planets, and the heavens, All burn with boundless energy and light, Yet I am mortal, and my love is finite, and I seek stability in your eternal gaze, hoping to find permanence in fleeting time.
