i had noticed the rhymes but the order was so different that I was not sure what to say about them. This article cleared it up for me. Again, I did not think about how the poet started off the poem with a question and spent the rest of the poem answering her own question.
I also agree with the whole love is far and wide and spiritual idea. The poet does often bring up references to the Bible. |

I mostly agree to this critic, but one thing that I do not agree with is when they say "Concluding the poem, she hopes that she will go on to love her husband even more in the future if God permits. If not, then there is always Heaven!" Personally, I translated the same lines as a promise that even beyond death she shall love him, and that there is no doubt about it.

Once again this page shows similarities to my own opinion and the other pages, but it did bring up so focuses I had not thought of. Such as, this poem had an iambic pentameter and could be sung.
