Twice

It is about someone being rejected and then turning to God.


Oh my love/God
Brackets suggest secrecy
More confident in the second half
Found strength in God


Lots of similarities between the two halves (parallelism) emphasises the similarities of the processes


The narrator...
Wants acceptance
Someone to love her
Not strong enough on our own we need love


It is devotional poetry


Religious
A lot of religious imagery, ideology
Biblical references
Biblical allusions


Comparisons
Maude Clare
Same imagery and idea of posetion
"Take my share of a fickle heart" - Maude Clare


No, Thank You, John
Idea of rejection
Both conclude that they don't need a male lover
