PATIENCE MUST DWELL WITH LOVE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Love only will be near
Subject(s): LOVE; GRIEF; PATIENCE;
Patience must dwell with Love, for Love and Sorrow
Have pitched their tent together here:
Love all alone will build a house tomorrow,
And Sorrow not be near.

To-day for Love's sake hope; still hope in Sorrow,
Rest in her shade and hold her dear.
To-day she nurses thee; and lo to-morrow
Love only will be near.
