Analysis of Love

My soul; is raying like a star,
   My heart is happier than a bird,
And all because, through fortune’s jar,
   I hear one little word.
I feel as if all life and might
   Had started on a loftier course,
As if all passion and delight
   Were deepened at the source.

I feel as if the very air
   Was breathed from out the heart of love,
And in my heart, still rapture rare,
   Sat brooding like a dove.

O beauty! Even through a word
   What powers are thine to raise and bless!
O love! A seraph’s voice is heard
   In thy confiding Yes!

Love is God’s messenger divine,
   And nature, tending up to God,
Shall breathe His clear air pure and fine
   Whatever love hath trod.
