More quotes by Christina Rossetti
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
Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes, to the very end.
Christina Rossetti
A pin has a head, but has no hair
Christina Rossetti
The lilies say: Behold how we Preach without words of purity.
Christina Rossetti
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
Let bygones be bygones.
Christina Rossetti
Yet come to me in dreams, that I may live My very life again though cold in death Come back to me in dreams, that I may give Pulse for pulse, breath for breath: Speak low, lean low, As long ago, my love, how long ago
Christina Rossetti
Spring bursts today, For love is risen and all the earth's at play.
Christina Rossetti
Rest, rest at the heart's core . . . till joy shall overtake.
Christina Rossetti
In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone Snow had fallen, Snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago.
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
And may you happy live, And long us bless.
Christina Rossetti
Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, Love Divine Love was born at Christmas Star and angels gave the sign.
Christina Rossetti
Christmas hath a beauty ... lovelier than the world can show.
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
Why does the sea moan evermore? Shut out from heaven it makes its moan, It frets against the boundary shore All earth's full rivers cannot fill The sea, that drinking thirsteth still.
Christina Rossetti
When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me
Christina Rossetti
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
Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I but when the trees bow down their heads, the wind is passing by.
Christina Rossetti
Faith is like a lily, lifted high and white.
Christina Rossetti
