THE BELOVED by KATHERINE HARRIS BRADLEY

First Line: LOVE ONLY COMES TO ME WHEN THOU ART GONE
Last Line: IF LOVE SO GREAT WILL NOT KEEP US FOR EVER ASUNDER.
Subject(s): LOVE;

LOVE only comes to me when thou art gone:
Then he draws to me in his might,
Sundering with his infinite
Power, as a far, wide space,
Till I cannot see thy face;
And I wonder
If Love so great will not keep us for ever asunder.
