There was a lot of Christian allegory in there. That's my only negative note- That the Christian allegorys were a bit uptight and a bit much. 

She apparently dedicated the poem to her sister who saved her from running away with a man who was already married
And so focusing on the sisterly love as a major theme is what made this poem interesting and enjoyable for me. And it was very beautifully written.
