O YE WHO LOVE TODAY by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Then to her sun gives place
Subject(s): LOVE; PATIENCE;
O YE who love to-day,
Turn away
From Patience with her silver ray:
For Patience shows a twilight face,
Like a half-hghted moon
When daylight dies apace.

But ye who love to-morrow,
Beg or borrow
To-day some bitterness of sorrow:
For Patience shows a lustrous face,
In depth of night her noon;
Then to her sun gives place.
