Analysis of Lord Jesus, Who Would Think That I Am Thine?
Christina Georgina Rossetti 1830 (London) – 1894 (London)
Lord Jesus, who would think that I am Thine?
Ah, who would think
Who sees me ready to turn back or sink,
That Thou art mine?
I cannot hold Thee fast though Thou art mine:
Hold Thou me fast,
So earth shall know at last and heaven at last
That I am Thine.
