TAKE NO THOUGHT FOR THE MORROW, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Who knows? God knows: and what he knows Last Line: Safe to her nest. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina | ||||||||
WHO knows? God knows: and what He knows Is well and best. The darkness hideth not from Him, but glows Clear as the morning or the evening rose Of east or west. Wherefore man's strength is to sit still: Not wasting care To antedate to-morrow's good or ill; Yet watching meekly, watching with good will, Watching to prayer. Some rising or some setting ray From east or west, If not to-day, why then another day Will light each dove upon the homeward way Safe to her nest. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BED OF FORGET-ME-NOTS by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BETTER RESURRECTION by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BIRTHDAY by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A CHRISTMAS CAROL (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A DIRGE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A LIFE'S PARALLELS by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A PAUSE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
