LOVE'S SLAVES by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHERE IS THE HEART THAT HAS NOT BOWED
Last Line: MORE THAN ANOTHER'S WHOLE OF FEELING!
Subject(s): LOVE;

WHERE is the heart that has not bowed
A slave, eternal Love, to thee!
Look on the cold, the gay, the proud,
And is there one among them free?

And what must love be in a heart
All passion's fiery depths concealing,
Which has in its minutest part
More than another's whole of feeling!
