AN EPIGRAM, ON THE BLESSEDNESS OF DIVINE LOVE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Faith, hope, and love were question'd what they thought
Last Line: "believe? Expect?"" I know it to be so."
Subject(s): Love


FAITH, Hope, and Love were question'd what they thought
Of future glory, which religion taught:
Now faith believ'd it, firmly, to be true;
And hope expected so to find it too;
Love answer'd, smiling with a conscious glow,
"Believe? Expect?" I KNOW it to be so.
