Poet Analysis

Last Line: BELOVED, LET US LOVE
Subject(s): LOVE; EAGLES; DOVES;

'Beloved, let us love one another,' says St. John,
Eagle of eagles calling from above :
Words of strong nourishment for life to feed upon,
'Beloved, let us love.'
Voice of an eagle, yea, Voice of the Dove:
If we may love, winter is past and gone;
Publish we, praise we, for lo it is enough.
More sunny than sunshine that ever yet shone.
Sweetener of the bitter, smoother of the rough,
Highest lesson of all lessons for all
o con,
'Beloved, let us love.'
