Poet Analysis

First Line: YOU LEFT ME, SWEET, TWO LEGACIES
Last Line: YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS AND ME.
Subject(s): LOVE;

You left me, sweet, two legacies, --
A legacy of love
A Heavenly Father would content,
Had He the offer of;
.
You left me boundaries of pain
Capacious as the seas,
Between eternity and time,
Your consciousness and me.
