Analysis of O Love! Thou Makest All Things Even

Sarah Flower Adams 1805 (Old Harlow, Essex) – 1848 (London)



O Love! thou makest all things even
In earth or heaven;
Finding thy way through prison-bars
Up to the stars;
Or, true to the Almighty plan,
That out of dust created man,
Thou lookest in a grave,--to see
Thine immortality!
