PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: LORD, GIVE ME BLESSED FEAR
Last Line: AND FETCH THEE HOME THY DOVE.
LORD, give me blessed fear,
And much more blessed love,
That fearing I may love Thee here
And be Thy harmless dove:

Until Thou cast out fear,
Until Thou perfect love,
Until Thou end mine exile here
And fetch Thee home Thy dove.
