A Hymn Of Love Comments

This was an absolutely gorgeous poem - loved it, surprised he is not more famous.

Has an older air about it than his years on earth would seem to match... but it is lovely all the same and he was not afraid of using his well-selected words in different speech patterns. Marieta below took a very in-depth look at this poem- -reading her comment would be well worth your while.

Sweet birds! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

In this Shakespearean sonnet of iambic pentameter, we can see the influence of Dante, of Ezra Pound, also of his father, a Quaker clergyman. Nature symbolizes the temple having 'veils of incense' for a 'steadfast faith'. The birds are like the angels, the water lily sends to the idea of baptism, the pillars are biblical apostles. In harmony with the universe, the earth becomes a whole when it is untouched by evilness.10

' Because the heart sees pure when the eye sees not', ' To the music that moves the universe moves my heart'....wonderful lines!

Very nice poem really. Enjoyed.

exuberance of nature that makes ones heart too full. perhaps what heart intends is the sum total of all in nature or its average or its representative. music moves both.it is not possible that heart of the human being can be made/created /built without the elements., ingradients that poet observes since those precedes the heart by million of years.heart recognises the elements /ions and dances with ecstasy.

I get the inside of this classic work of the great poet by this great composer really of grace and dignity, evenly balanced and supple........outstanding...........thanks for sharing

Such an interesting write by Robert Laurence Binyon👍👍👍

THREE: Not enough numbers to give as a Vote for him, but a myriad is most deserving for such a great Classic Poet as he IS....I truly have enjoyed very much. Best wishes, Sylvia Frances Chan, Dutch Poetess

TWO: This Classic Poet is a true observer and describes the finest occurrences around him and what is within him. His heart is a true observer though, as he declared that in his poem. I cite this loveliest line of him: The whole earth is my temple....

A great poem by a great poem. There is a sweetness in every stanzas and I would like that the poem should have an ending. Thanks for posting.

The whole earth is my temple, and Love the shrine That all the hearts of the world worship and seek. Beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing it. 10.

Fantastic expression on love. It may be quoted some lines... To the music that moves the universe moves my heart, And the song of the starry worlds I sing apart In the night and shadow and stillness, Love, for you. Congratulations to his soul for being selected as the poem of the day.

Unless a love poem can say something startling right out of the blocks, my eyes begin glazing over pretty quickly. I didn't catch much here that was fresh or new, but I may have missed some pertinent detail or image because of the saporific effect such poems have on me.

Such a great poem in rhyme.....

In a strange air! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
