Love Trusts Even Death
The poem imagines a small token—a flower given during love—preserving the presence of a departed mouth. The speaker accepts death’s hunger for that remnant and quietly guides any onlooker to seek the beloved’s face. He asks that Death be received gently, even lavishly, because he trusts Death to be kind. The poem frames loss and mortality with tenderness, turning separation into an intimate, dignified passage rather than a violent end.
Read Complete Analysesi like to think that on the flower you gave me when we loved the far- departed mouth sweetly-saluted lingers. if one marvel seeing the hunger of my lips for a dead thing, i shall instruct him silently with becoming steps to seek your face and i entreat,by certain foolish perfect hours dead too, if that he come receive him as your lover sumptuously being kind because i trust him to your grace,and for in his own land he is called death.
