Notes About The Poem

My duet inspired by George Herbert's duet 'Heaven'

Verse Freed To Duet

Where do I find a contented life?
          ECHO:              WIFE
Will marriage bring this to me ?
          ECHO:              SEE
Can two ever complement one?
          ECHO:              DONE
But do opposites cement,still?
          ECHO:              WILL
Aye,will it hold fast from above?
          ECHO:              LOVE
Here,there,where does agape hide?
          ECHO:              INSIDE
Ah yes,but how will it draw near?
          ECHO:               HEAR
Perhaps for me,too great a task!
          ECHO:               ASK
Yes,yes but how,what words to pray
          ECHO:               SAY
