PATIENCE MUST DWELL WITH LOVE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: Love only will be near
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Love; Grief; Patience


Patience must dwell with Love, for Love and Sorrow
Have pitched their tent together here:
Love all alone will build a house tomorrow,
And Sorrow not be near.

To-day for Love's sake hope; still hope in Sorrow,
Rest in her shade and hold her dear.
To-day she nurses thee; and lo to-morrow
Love only will be near.
