'O give us Love—strong, steadfast, undefiled! A heart to sanctify our own heart's need, An eye that is not by new sights beguiled, A mind ennobled by its human creed, A soul that is from sensual slavery freed— Or, if we may no true heart-union prove, Grant us to know Thy Greater Heart of Love! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FOR ST.
