AFTER TWO YEARS by RICHARD ALDINGTON

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

First Line: SHE IS ALL SO SLIGHT
Last Line: GOD HAS DONE WELL TO ME.
Subject(s): GOD; LOVE;
She is all so slight
And tender and white
As a May morning.
She walks without hood
At dusk. It is good
To hear her sing.

It is God's will
That I shall love her still
As he loves Mary,
And night and day
I will go forth to pray
That she loves me.

She is as gold
Lovely, and far more cold.
Do thou pray with me,
For if I win grace
To kiss twice her face
God has done well to me.
