Always Mine!
poem 839
Always Mine! - meaning Summary
Day as Perpetual Renewal
The poem celebrates a dawn that feels personally owned and permanent. The speaker rejects rest and declares a constant "term of Light," comparing this new beginning to the dependable cycles of seasons and the sun. The language balances a sense of antiquity with freshness: the spiritual "Grace" and the eastern, ritualized source are old, but each day renews its subjects and makes the dawn appear first and newly significant. Overall it presents morning as both an unchanging cosmic pattern and an intimate, revitalizing event for the speaker.
