THE FEARFUL TRUST by LETITIA ELIZABETH LANDON

Poet Analysis

First Line: IT IS A FEARFUL TRUST, THE TRUST OF LOVE
Last Line: ITS CHILDHOOD IS DEPARTED.
Subject(s): LOVE - COMPLAINTS;
IT is a fearful trust, the trust of love.
In fear, not hope, should woman's heart receive
A guest so terrible. Ah! never more
Will the young spirit know its joyous hours
Of quiet hopes and innocent delights;
Its childhood is departed.
