Love for ever dwells in Heaven, Hope entereth not there. To despairing man Love's given, Hope dwells not with despair. Love reigneth high, and reigned low, and reigneth everywhere. In the inmost heart Love dwelleth, It may not quenched be; E'en when the life-blood welleth Its fond effects we see. In the name that leaves the lips the last, fades last from memory. And when we shall awaken Ascending to the sky, Tho' Hope shall have forsaken, Sweet Love shall never die. For perfect Love, and perfect bliss, shall be our lot on high. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A LETTER TO HER HUSBAND, ABSENT UPON PUBLIC EMPLOYMENT by ANNE BRADSTREET A NET TO SNARE THE MOONLIGHT by NICHOLAS VACHEL LINDSAY FESSEDEN'S GARDEN by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN DIAL-THOUGHTS by THOMAS LOVELL BEDDOES THE SUMMONS by WILLIAM ROSE BENET |
