THE IMMORTALITY OF LOVE by ROBERT SOUTHEY

Poet Analysis

First Line: OH! WHEN A MOTHER MEETS ON HIGH
Last Line: AN OVER-PAYMENT OF DELIGHT?
Subject(s): MOTHERS;

OH! when a mother meets on high
The Babe she lost in infancy,
Hath she not then, for pains and fears,
The day of woe, the watchful night,
For all her sorrow, all her tears,
An over-payment of delight?
