LORD, GIVE ME LOVE THAT I MAY LOVE THEE MUCH, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: Endless, all love, no sorrow, but a song Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): God; Love | ||||||||
Lord, give me love that I may love Thee much, Yea, give me love that I may love Thee more. And all for love may worship and adore And touch Thee with love's consecrated touch. I halt to-day ; be love my cheerful crutch. My feet to plod, some day my wings to soar: Some day ; but, Lord, not any day before Thou call me perfect, having made me such. This is a day of love, a day of sorrow. Love tempering sorrow to a sort of bliss; A day that shortens while we call it long: A longer day of love will dawn tomorrow, A longer, brighter, lovelier day than this. Endless, all love, no sorrow, but a song. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
