Bright Queen of Heaven! God's Virgin Spouse! The glad world's blessed maid! Whose beauty tied life to thy house, And brought us saving aid. Thou art the true Loves-knot; by thee God is made our ally, And man's inferior essence he With his did dignify. For coalescent by that band We are his body grown, Nourished with favours from his hand Whom for our head we own. And such a Knot, what arm dares loose, What life, what death can sever? Which us in him, and him in us United keeps for ever. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...VOYAGE A L'INFINI by WALTER CONRAD ARENSBERG THE BOOK OF THEL by WILLIAM BLAKE DINING-ROOM TEA by RUPERT BROOKE THE PHANTOM KISS by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR CHILD AND MOTHER by EUGENE FIELD SONNET by PERCY BYSSHE SHELLEY |
