MY LOVE WAS WARM; FOR THAT I CROSSED by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON

Poet Analysis

Last Line: The bond that holds me now?
Subject(s): LOVE – NATURE OF;
My love was warm; for that I crossed
The mountains and the sea,
Nor counted that endeavour lost
That gave my love to me.

If that indeed were love at all,
As still, my love, I trow,
By what dear name am I to call
The bond that holds me now?
