Quote #4
"When round his head the aureole clings,
And he is cloth'd in white,
I'll take his hand and go with him
To the deep wells of light;
As unto a stream we will step down,
And bathe there in God's sight." (73-78)
The damsel's fantasy of getting back together with her lover happens entirely within a religious framework. She can't wait to see him in his white robes and halo, then take him to see God.
Quote #5
"We two will lie i' the shadow of
That living mystic tree
Within whose secret growth the Dove
Is sometimes felt to be,
While every leaf that His plumes touch
Saith His Name audibly." (85-90)
In these lines the damsel enjoys another religiously-themed fantasy about reuniting with her lover. They'll go to the biblical Tree of Life together, which is charged with the Holy Spirit (symbolized by the dove). This would be one pious picnic.
Quote #6
([…] But shall God lift
To endless unity
The soul whose likeness with thy soul
Was but its love for thee?) (99-102)
The still-living lover doubts that he's got the same religious qualities as the damozel, and he's worried that this will keep him out of heaven. In his view, the most religious thing he ever did was love the damsel, but maybe that's not quite enough to make it past the gates.
