Winter Rain
July 5, 2023Twilight Calm
July 5, 2023Who Hath Despised The Day Of Small Things?
As violets so be I recluse and sweet,
Cheerful as daisies unaccounted rare,
Still sunward-gazing from a lowly seat,
Still sweetening wintry air.
While half-awakened Spring lags incomplete,
While lofty forest trees tower bleak and bare,
Daisies and violets own remotest heat
And bloom and make them fair.
Christina Georgina Rossetti
Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894) was an English poet and member of the Pre-Raphaelite movement. Her work often explores themes of love, death, and religious devotion. Her notable works include "Goblin Market," "In the Bleak Midwinter," and "Remember."
