The poem
Leave me, O love which reachest but to dust, And thou, my mind, aspire to higher things; Grow rich in that which never taketh rust: Whatever fades but fading pleasure brings. Draw in thy beams, and humble all thy might To that sweet yoke where lasting freedoms be, Which breaks the clouds and opens forth the light That doth both shine and give us sight to see. O, take fast hold; let that light be thy guide In this small course which birth draws out to death, And think how evil becometh him to slide Who seeketh heaven, and comes of heavenly breath. Then farewell, world! thy uttermost I see: Eternal Love, maintain thy life in me.
The peom has two types of love which are spriitual and physical love.It shows as that physical love ends with the end of life but spiritual love remain forever.
this poem is about phisical love that leads to death,and earthly love vs the devine one.
when the man's mind is corrupt, he becomes unable to see the light of god
phisical love leads to slavery through desires, but the devine love leads to freedom, because man's love for god is the only savior toward an eternal life.
ourbirt leads us to our grave, so we have to follow the light of god.
man can never be perfect because he is a sinner by nature by we have to fight desires to live a transendent life, and only god's love will save us from hell.
