CHARITY NEVER FAILETH, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Such is love, it comforts in extremity
Last Line: Such is love.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Charity; Philanthropy


SUCH is Love, it comforts in extremity,
Tho' a tempest rage around and rage above,
Tempest beyond tempest, far as eye can see:
Such is Love

That it simply heeds its mourning inward Dove;
Dove which craves contented for a home to be
Set amid the myrtles of an olive grove.

Dove-eyed Love contemplates the Twelve-fruited Tree,
Marks the bowing palms which worship as they move;
Simply sayeth, simply prayeth, 'All for me!'
Such is Love.
