MAGNIFICAT, by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Praise god, who wrought for you and me Last Line: Then put your hand into my hand. Subject(s): Love - Nature Of | ||||||||
Praise God, who wrought for you and me Your subtle body made for love; God, who from all eternity Willed our divided ways should move Together, and our love should be. I wandered all these years among A world of women, seeking you. Ah, when our fingers met and clung, The pulses of our bodies knew Each other: our hearts leapt and sung. It was not any word of mine, It was not any look of yours; Only we knew, and knew for sign Of Love that comes, Love that endures, Our veins the chalice of his wine. Because God willed for us and planned One perfect love, excelling speech To tell, or thought to understand, He made our bodies each for each, Then put your hand into my hand. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RESCUE THE DEAD by DAVID IGNATOW BUTTERFLIES UNDER PERSIMMON by MARK JARMAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 27 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 28 by JAMES JOYCE CHAMBER MUSIC: 30 by JAMES JOYCE HE WHO KNOWS LOVE by ELSA BARKER LOVE'S HUMBLENESS by ELSA BARKER SONG (IN THE LUCKY CHANCE) by APHRA BEHN NERVES by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS |
