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!

More quotes by Christina Rossetti
When I am dead, my dearest, Sing no sad songs for 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
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

Christina Rossetti

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
The rose saith in the dewy morn, I am most fair Yet all my loveliness is born Upon a thorn.

Christina Rossetti
What is the beginning? Love. What is the course. Love still. What the goal. The goal is love.
Christina Rossetti

Christina Rossetti
I might show facts as plain as day: but, since your eyes are blind, you'd say, 'Where? What?' and turn away.
Christina Rossetti
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
Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes, to the very end.
Christina Rossetti
For there is no friend like a sister in calm or stormy weather.
Christina Rossetti
We must not look at goblin men, We must not buy their fruits: Who knows upon what soil they fed Their hungry thirsty roots?
Christina Rossetti
