DESIRE by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE

Poet Analysis

First Line: WHERE TRUE LOVE BURNS DESIRE IS LOVE'S PURE FLAME
Last Line: AND BUT TRANSLATES THE LANGUAGE OF THE HEART.
Subject(s): DESIRE; LOVE;
Where true Love burns Desire is Love's pure flame;
It is the reflex of our earthly frame,
That takes its meaning from the nobler part,
And but translates the language of the heart.
