TWO WEDDED HEARTS; FRAGMENT: 2 by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE BUILDER LEFT ONE NARROW RENT
Last Line: AND UNION ABSOLUTE OF LOVE.
Subject(s): LOVE - MARITAL; WEDDED LOVE; MARRIAGE - LOVE;

The Builder left one narrow rent,
Two wedded Hearts, if e'er were such,
Contented most in discontent
There cling, and try in vain to touch!
O Joy with thy own Joy at Strife,
That yearning for the Realm above
Would'st die into intenser Life,
And union absolute of Love.
