Image
Love shall be our token love be yours and love be mine.
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
The downhill path is easy, but there's no turning back.

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

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
Image
Christmas hath a beauty ... lovelier than the world can show.
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.
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
My heart is like a singing bird.
Christina Rossetti
Image
For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather.
Christina Rossetti
Image
Ah me, but where are now the songs I sang When life was sweet because you call’d them sweet?
Christina Rossetti
Image
What is green? The grass is green, With small flowers between. What is violet? Clouds are violet In the summer twilight. What is orange? Why, an orange, Just an orange!
Christina Rossetti
Image
Consider The lilies of the field whose bloom is brief:-- We are as they Like them we fade away As doth a leaf.
