A HELPMEET FOR HIM, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Woman was made for man's delight Last Line: Woman was made. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Women | ||||||||
WOMAN was made for man's delight; Charm, O woman, be not afraid! His shadow by day, his moon by night, Woman was made. Her strength with weakness is overlaid; Meek compliances veil her might; Him she stays by whom she is stayed. World-wide champion of truth and right, Hope in gloom and in danger aid, Tender and faithful, ruddy and white, Woman was made. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARISTOTLE TO PHYLLIS by JOHN HOLLANDER A WOMAN'S DELUSION by SUSAN HOWE JULIA TUTWILER STATE PRISON FOR WOMEN by ANDREW HUDGINS THE WOMEN ON CYTHAERON by ROBINSON JEFFERS TOMORROW by ANNA LETITIA BARBAULD LADIES FOR DINNER, SAIPAN by KENNETH KOCH GOODBYE TO TOLERANCE by DENISE LEVERTOV IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
