Image
Oh roses for the flush of youth, And laurel for the perfect prime But pluck an ivy branch for me Grown old before my time.
Christina Rossetti
Image
Christmas hath a beauty ... lovelier than the world can show.
Christina Rossetti
Image
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
Image
Where innocent bright-eyes daisies are With blades of grass between, Each daisy stands up like a star Out of a sky of green.
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
Image
Come to me in the silence of the night, Come to me in the speaking silence of a dream. Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright as sunlight on a stream. Come back in tears, O memory, hope, love of finished years.
Christina Rossetti
Image
Faith is like a lily, lifted high and white.

Tread softly! All the earth is holy ground.
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
Image
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
Image
As a tree my sin stands To darken all lands Death is the fruit it bore.
Christina Rossetti
Image
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
Image
Love came down at Christmas, Love all lovely, Love Divine Love was born at Christmas Star and angels gave the sign.
Christina Rossetti
Image
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.

When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me

I might show facts as plain as day: but, since your eyes are blind, you'd say, 'Where? What?' and turn away.
