Image
Yet if you should forget me for a while And afterwards remember, do not grieve: For if the darkness and corruption leave A vestige of the thoughts that once I had, Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad.
Christina Rossetti
Image
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
Image
Love shall be our token love be yours and love be mine.
Christina Rossetti
Image
Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes, to the very end.
Christina Rossetti
Image
Where innocent bright-eyes daisies are With blades of grass between, Each daisy stands up like a star Out of a sky of green.

Image
The rose saith in the dewy morn, I am most fair Yet all my loveliness is born Upon a thorn.
Christina Rossetti
Image
What is the beginning? Love. What is the course. Love still. What the goal. The goal is love.
Christina Rossetti
Image
I wish I could remember the first day, First hour, first moment of your meeting me If bright or dim the season it might be Summer or winter for aught I can say. So, unrecorded did it slip away, So blind was i to see and to forsee, So dull to mark the budding of my tree That would not blossom, yet, for many a May.
Christina Rossetti
Image
And all winds go sighing For sweet things dying.
Christina Rossetti
Image
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.

Image
Where are the songs I used to know, Where are the notes I used to sing? I have forgotten everything I used to know so long ago. (The Key-Note)
Christina Rossetti
Image
I might show facts as plain as day: but, since your eyes are blind, you'd say, 'Where? What?' and turn away.
Christina Rossetti
Image
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
Image
I have no wit, no words, no tears My heart within me like a stone Is numb'd too much for hopes or fears Look right, look left, I dwell alone I lift mine eyes, but dimm'd with grief No everlasting hills I see My life is in the falling leaf: O Jesus, quicken me.
Christina Rossetti
Image
My heart is breaking for a little love
Christina Rossetti
Image
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
Image
What is pink? A rose is pink By the fountain's brink.
Christina Rossetti
Image
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
Image
Why one day in the country Is worth a month in town Is worth a day and a year Of the dusty, musty, lag-last fashion That days drone elsewhere.
Christina Rossetti
Image
For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather.
