More quotes by Christina Rossetti
Spring is when life's alive in everything.
Christina Rossetti
She cried, Laura, up the garden, Did you miss me? Come and kiss me. Never mind my bruises, Hug me, kiss me, suck my juices Squeezed from goblin fruits for you, Goblin pulp and goblin dew. Eat me, drink me, love me Laura, make much of me For your sake I have braved the glen And had to do with goblin merchant men.
Christina Rossetti
Come to me in the silence of the night, Come to me in the speaking silence of a dream. Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright as sunlight on a stream. Come back in tears, O memory, hope, love of finished years.
Christina Rossetti
As a tree my sin stands To darken all lands Death is the fruit it bore.
Christina Rossetti
Open wide the windows of our spirits and fill us full of light open wide the door of our hearts, that we may receive and entertain Thee with all our powers of adoration.
Christina Rossetti
Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes, to the very end.
Christina Rossetti
Christmas hath a darkness Brighter than the blazing noon Christmas hath a chillness Warmer than the heat of June, Christmas hath a beauty Lovelier than the world can show: For Christmas bringeth Jesus, Brought for us so low
Christina Rossetti
Hurt no living thing: Ladybird, nor butterfly, Nor moth with dusty wing.
Christina Rossetti
It is not the deed we do Though the deed be never so fair, But the love that the dear Lord looketh for, Hidden with lovely care In the heart of the deed so fair.
Christina Rossetti
And may you happy live, And long us bless.
Christina Rossetti
Hope is like a harebell, trembling from its birth,Love is like a rose, the joy of all the earth,Faith is like a lily, lifted high and white,Love is like a lovely rose, the world's delight.Harebells and sweet lilies show a thornless growth,But the rose with all its thorns excels them both.
Christina Rossetti
My heart is like a singing bird Whose nest is in a water'd shoot My heart is like an apple-tree Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit.
Christina Rossetti
Love shall be our token love be yours and love be mine.
Christina Rossetti
O Lord, who art our guide even unto death, grant us, I pray Thee, grace to follow Thee whithersoever Thou goest. In little daily duties to which Thou callest us, bow down our wills to simple obedience.
Christina Rossetti
Faith is like a lily, lifted high and white.
Christina Rossetti
For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather To cheer one on the tedious way, to fetch one if one goes astray, to lift one if one totters down, to strengthen whilst one stands.
Christina Rossetti
To me it seems our duty towards the Bible is to obey its teaching in faith. I do not think we are bound to understand or account for all its utterances.
Christina Rossetti
For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather.
Christina Rossetti
The downhill path is easy, but there's no turning back.
Christina Rossetti
A pin has a head, but has no hair
