JUDGE NOTHING BEFORE THE TIME, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Love understands the mystery
Last Line: Love understands the mystery.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
Subject(s): Love - Nature Of


Love understands the mystery, whereof
We can but spell a surface history:
Love knows, remembers: let us trust in Love:
Love understands the mystery.

Love weighs the event, the long pre-history,
Measures the depth beneath, the height above,
The mystery, with the ante-mystery.

To love and to be grieved befits a dove
Silently telling her bead-history:
Trust all to Love, be patient and approve:
Love understands the mystery.
