LOVE by HENRY DAVID THOREAU

Poet Analysis

First Line: WE TWO THAT PLANETS ERST HAD BEEN
Last Line: REVOLVE ABOUT ONE CENTRE.
Subject(s): FRIENDSHIP; LOVE; STARS;
We two that planets erst had been
Are now a double star,
And in the heavens may be seen,
Where that we fixed are.

Yet whirled with subtle power along,
Into new space we enter,
And evermore with spheral song
Revolve about one centre.
