It also has a little religious insight. It is almost like a prayer, in that the poem gives praise to God, and celebrates his creations.

By capitalizing love, it becomes its own being, which waits impatiently, hence pacing the mountain. Yeats gives love a face hidden in the stars. The “face” is love’s distinguishing characteristics, such as tenderness and sensi .....
