Your heart has been sore wounded too. Dear Light, love shall cherish you, till you again look on life with happy eyes.

The speaker addresses someone tenderly (“Dear Light”) who has been emotionally hurt (“sore wounded”). The promise that “love shall cherish you” frames affection as a restorative force: not a denial of pain, but a sustained care that can help the wounded person return to joy (“again look on life with happy eyes”). The line’s significance lies in its gentle temporality—healing is imagined as gradual and relational, achieved through continued cherishing rather than a sudden cure. It also suggests mutual recognition of suffering (“too”), implying shared experience and the ethical impulse to respond to another’s hurt with steadfast love.
