Christina Rossetti
The loves that meet in Paradise shall cast out fear, And Paradise hath room for you and me and all.
Christina Rossetti

Christina Rossetti
Not as she is, but as she fills his dream
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
Oh that it were with me As with the flower Blooming on its own tree For butterfly and bee Its summer morns: That I might bloom mine hour A rose in spite of thorns. Oh that my work were done As birds' that soar Rejoicing in the sun: That when my time is run And daylight too, I so might rest once more Cool with refreshing dew.
Christina Rossetti
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
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
Spring's an expansive time: yet I don't trust March with its peck of dust, Nor April with its rainbow-crowned brief showers, Nor even May, whose flowers One frost may wither thro' the sunless hours.
Christina Rossetti
Spring bursts today, For love is risen and all the earth's at play.
Christina Rossetti
Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? Yes, work never begun.
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
