SECURITY by RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: THOUGH HER EYE SEEK OTHER FORMS
Last Line: AND LEARN OF LOVE A NEW DEGREE
Subject(s): COURTSHIP;
Though her eye seek other forms
And a glad delight below
Yet the love the world that warms
Bids for me her bosom glow

She must love me till she find
Another heart as large & true
Her soul like mine is unconfined
And the world has only two

If Nature hold another heart
That knows a purer flame than we
I too therein would challenge part
And learn of love a new degree
