More quotes by Christina Rossetti
Christmas hath a beauty ... lovelier than the world can show.
Christina Rossetti
Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I but when the trees bow down their heads, the wind is passing by.
Christina Rossetti
Where innocent bright-eyes daisies are With blades of grass between, Each daisy stands up like a star Out of a sky of green.
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
And all winds go sighing For sweet things dying.
Christina Rossetti
The lilies say: Behold how we Preach without words of purity.
Christina Rossetti
Ah me, but where are now the songs I sang When life was sweet because you call’d them sweet?
Christina Rossetti
What is pink? A rose is pink By the fountain's brink.
Christina Rossetti
Rest, rest at the heart's core . . . till joy shall overtake.
Christina Rossetti
Why does the sea moan evermore? Shut out from heaven it makes its moan, It frets against the boundary shore All earth's full rivers cannot fill The sea, that drinking thirsteth still.
Christina Rossetti
For I am bound with fleshly bands, Joy, beauty, lie beyond my scope I strain my heart, I stretch my hands, And catch at hope.
Christina Rossetti
Consider The lilies of the field whose bloom is brief:-- We are as they Like them we fade away As doth a leaf.
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
Oh roses for the flush of youth, And laurel for the perfect prime But pluck an ivy branch for me Grown old before my time.
Christina Rossetti
To her whose heart is my heart's quiet home, To my first Love, my Mother, on whose knee I learnt love-lore that is not troublesome.
Christina Rossetti
The loves that meet in Paradise shall cast out fear, And Paradise hath room for you and me and all.
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
I might show facts as plain as day: but, since your eyes are blind, you'd say, 'Where? What?' and turn away.
Christina Rossetti
A pin has a head, but has no hair
Christina Rossetti
Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes, to the very end.
Christina Rossetti
