CHARITY NEVER FAILETH, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI 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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOW THE GREAT GUEST CAME by EDWIN MARKHAM CHARITY OVERCOMING ENVY by MARIANNE MOORE PASSING IT ON by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE THE IDEA OF SOUP by NORMAN DUBIE THE [EXCELLENT] BALLADE OF CHARITIE by THOMAS CHATTERTON SONG OF THREE SMILES by WILLIAM STANLEY MERWIN RECUERDO by EDNA ST.
