More quotes by 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
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
When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me
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
Hurt no living thing: Ladybird, nor butterfly, Nor moth with dusty wing.
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
Love shall be our token love be yours and love be mine.
Christina Rossetti
My heart is like a singing bird.
Christina Rossetti
As a tree my sin stands To darken all lands Death is the fruit it bore.
Christina Rossetti
For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather.
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
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
Spring is when life's alive in everything.
Christina Rossetti
Ah me, but where are now the songs I sang When life was sweet because you call’d them sweet?
Christina Rossetti
Because the birthday of my life Is come, my love is come to me.
Christina Rossetti
Be the green grass above me, with showers and dewdrops wet and if thou wilt, remember, and if thou wilt, forget.
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
Let bygones be bygones.
Christina Rossetti
What is pink? A rose is pink By the fountain's brink.
Christina Rossetti
