THE KNOT, by HENRY VAUGHAN Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Bright queen of heaven! God's virgin spouse Last Line: United keeps for ever. Alternate Author Name(s): Silurist Subject(s): Mary. Mother Of Jesus; Women - Bible; Virgin Mary | ||||||||
Bright Queen of Heaven! God's Virgin Spouse! The glad world's blessed maid! Whose beauty tied life to thy house, And brought us saving aid. Thou art the true Loves-knot; by thee God is made our ally, And man's inferior essence he With his did dignify. For coalescent by that band We are his body grown, Nourished with favours from his hand Whom for our head we own. And such a Knot, what arm dares loose, What life, what death can sever? Which us in him, and him in us United keeps for ever. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MADONNA by KATHARINE LEE BATES BALLADE TO OUR LADY OF CZESTOCHOWA by HILAIRE BELLOC OUR LORD AND OUR LADY by HILAIRE BELLOC PLASTIC BEATITUDE by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR A SONG OF MARY by LUCILLE CLIFTON ISLAND MARY by LUCILLE CLIFTON |
