More quotes by 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
Tread softly! All the earth is holy ground.
Christina Rossetti
Where are the songs I used to know, Where are the notes I used to sing? I have forgotten everything I used to know so long ago. (The Key-Note)
Christina Rossetti
To me it seems our duty towards the Bible is to obey its teaching in faith. I do not think we are bound to understand or account for all its utterances.
Christina Rossetti
As a tree my sin stands To darken all lands Death is the fruit it bore.
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
Ah me, but where are now the songs I sang When life was sweet because you call’d them sweet?
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
The loves that meet in Paradise shall cast out fear, And Paradise hath room for you and me and all.
Christina Rossetti
And all winds go sighing For sweet things dying.
Christina Rossetti
All earth's full rivers can not fillThe sea that drinking thirsteth still.
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
Spring bursts today, For love is risen and all the earth's at play.
Christina Rossetti
The lilies say: Behold how we Preach without words of purity.
Christina Rossetti
Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes, to the very end.
Christina Rossetti
Hope is like a harebell, trembling from its birth,Love is like a rose, the joy of all the earth,Faith is like a lily, lifted high and white,Love is like a lovely rose, the world's delight.Harebells and sweet lilies show a thornless growth,But the rose with all its thorns excels them both.
Christina Rossetti
Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? Yes, work never begun.
Christina Rossetti
A pin has a head, but has no hair
Christina Rossetti
Faith is like a lily, lifted high and white.
Christina Rossetti
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
