More quotes by Christina Rossetti

Image
I watched a rose-bud very long Brought on by dew and sun and shower, Waiting to see the perfect flower: Then when I thought it should be strong It opened at the matin hour And fell at even-song.
Christina Rossetti
Image
Rest, rest at the heart's core . . . till joy shall overtake.
Christina Rossetti
Image
For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather.
Christina Rossetti
Image
The rose saith in the dewy morn, I am most fair Yet all my loveliness is born Upon a thorn.
Christina Rossetti
Image
Christmas hath a beauty ... lovelier than the world can show.
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.
Christina Rossetti
Image
The Bourne Underneath the growing grass, Underneath the living flowers, Deeper than the sound of showers: There we shall not count the hours By the shadows as they pass. Youth and health will be but vain, Beauty reckoned of no worth: There a very little girth Can hold round what once the earth Seemed too narrow to contain.
Christina Rossetti
Image
My heart is breaking for a little 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
All earth's full rivers can not fillThe sea that drinking thirsteth still.
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
Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I but when the trees bow down their heads, the wind is passing by.
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.
Christina Rossetti

Not as she is, but as she fills his dream

Tread softly! All the earth is holy ground.

Spring bursts today, For love is risen and all the earth's at play.
Christina Rossetti
Image
Because the birthday of my life Is come, my love is come to me.

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

Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, Love Divine Love was born at Christmas Star and angels gave the sign.

Faith is like a lily, lifted high and white.
