Posted on Sat, 27 Feb 2016

I really like the idea and the flowing structure which is interrupted in the middle. I think the last line needs work to really finish it off with the power it has begun with.

Posted on Sun, 14 Feb 2016

The rhyming couplets are a nice touch to add to the romance. A few more syllables per line and a shift in the couplets - you would have a neat sonnet here.

Posted on Sun, 14 Feb 2016

I don't know the hymn but the words here are very powerful and proud. I'm particularly fond of the 'revealing faith he’d learnt in tears' line. Such a story there.
