AH LORD, LORD, IF MY HEART WERE RIGHT WITH THINE, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: With us long sought, long loved, to me:and much forgiven Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Heaven; Jesus Christ | ||||||||
Ah Lord, Lord, if my heart were right with Thine, As Thine with mine, then should I rest resigned, Awaiting knowledge with a quiet mind Because of heavenly wisdom'''s anodyne. Then would Thy Love be more to me than wine, Then should I seek being sure at length to find, Then should I trust to Thee all humankind. Because Thy Love of them is more than mine. Then should I stir up hope and comfort me Remembering Thy Cradle and Thy Cross; How Heaven to Thee without us had been loss, How Heaven with us is Thy one only Heaven, Heaven shared with us thro''' all eternity, With us long sought, long loved, and much forgiven. How Heaven with us is Thy one only Heaven, Heaven shared with us thro' all eternity, With us long sought, long loved, to me:and much forgiven. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MEDITATION ON SAVIORS by ROBINSON JEFFERS COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK TO A WREN ON CALVARY by LARRY LEVIS THE TRANSFIGURATION by EDWIN MUIR SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 1.
