We can burst the bonds which chain us, Which cold human hands have wrought, And where none shall dare restrain us We can meet again, in thought.

About This Quote

In the poem, “We can burst the bonds which chain us,” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, this author captures the true meaning of love. She describes how we can give and receive love freely and without worry. Yet, she also speaks of us having a chance to “meet again” with those we truly care for. No matter what hardships we face in life, we can always find a way to make things right. Though we cannot meet again physically, we can continue keeping one another in our thoughts and hearts.
