I Need Help Interpreting a Poem by Emily Bronte.

[AshleyMare]

So, my language arts teacher gave me this poem by Emily Bronte, because I loved Wuthering Heights and I need help figuring out what it's about. I've never been really good with poetry.

"No Coward Soul Is Mine"
by Emily Bronte

No coward soul is mine,
No trembler in the world's storm-troubled sphere:
I see Heaven's glories shine,
And faith shines equal, arming me from fear.

O God within my breast,
Almighty, ever-present Deity!
Life--that in me has rest,
As I--undying Life--have power in thee!

Vain are the thousand creeds,
That move men's hearts: unutterably vain;
Worthless as withered weeds,
Or idlest forth amid the boundless main,

To waken doubt in one
Holding so fast by thine infinity;
So surely anchored on
The steadfast rock of immortality.

With wide-embracing love
Thy spirit animates eternal years,
Pervades and broods above,
Changes, sustains, dissolves, creates, and rears.

Though earth and man were gone,
And suns and universes ceased to be,
And thou were left alone,
Every existence would exist in Thee.

There is not room for Death,
Nor atom that his might could render void;
Thou--THOU are Being and Breath,
And what THOU art may never be destroyed






Sorry if there's a huge amount of typos. Anyway, is it about Love or God or what? I have no idea.

Its about her faith in God and the strengh, and freedom from fear it gives her.
Her confidence in this regard, leaves her unafraid of life and unafraid of death.

Thank you much.
