LORD, DOST THOU LOOK ON ME, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: And give me love that I may give thee love
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): God; Love


Lord, dost Thou look on me, and will not I
Launch out my heart to Heaven to look on Thee?
Here if one loved me I should turn to see,
And often think on him and often sigh.
And by a tender friendship make reply
To love gratuitous poured forth on me.
And nurse a hope of happy days to be,
And mean "until we meet" in each good-bye.
Lord, Thou dost look and love is in Thine Eyes,
Thy heart is set upon me day and night,
Thou stoopest low to set me far above:
O Lord, that I may love Thee make me wise;
That I may see and love Thee grant me sight;
And give me love that I may give Thee love.
