LORD, HAST THOU SO LOVED US, AND WILL NOT WE, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: Thy heart caressed Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): God; Love | |||
Lord, hast Thou so loved us, and will not we Love Thee with heart and mind and strength and soul. Desiring Thee beyond our glorious goal, Beyond the heaven of heavens desiring Thee? Each saint, all saints cry out: Yea me, yea me. Thou hast desired beyond an aureole. Beyond Thy many Crowns, beyond the whole Ninety and nine unwandering family. Souls in green pastures of the watered land, Faint pilgrim souls wayfaring thro' the sand. Abide with Thee and in Thee are at rest: Yet evermore, kind Lord, renew Thy quest After new wanderers ; such as once Thy Hand Gathered, Thy Shoulders bore. Thy Heart caressed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
