PEACE I LEAVE WITH YOU by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: TUMULT AND TURMOIL, TROUBLE AND TOIL
Last Line: WRAP ME UP IN THY LOVE.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST;

TUMULT and turmoil, trouble and toil,
Yet peace withal in a painful heart;
Never a grudge and never a broil,
And ever the better part.

O my King and my heart's own choice,
Stretch Thy Hand to Thy fluttering dove;
Teach me, call to me with Thy Voice,
Wrap me up in Thy Love.
