"He loves me now without excess, / Or passionate alloy."
Metaphor in Context
Departed hence in perfect peace,
He loves me now without excess,
Or passionate alloy;
Serene, he waits my spirit's flight,
To range with his the plains of light,
And climb the mount of joy.
He loves me now without excess,
Or passionate alloy;
Serene, he waits my spirit's flight,
To range with his the plains of light,
And climb the mount of joy.
