TWILIGHT NIGHT: 2, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Where my heart is (wherever that may be) Last Line: Again to-day I watch the accustomed way. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Longing | ||||||||
Where my heart is (wherever that may be) Might I but follow! If you fly thither over heath and lea, O honey-seeking bee, O careless swallow, Bid some for whom I watch keep watch for me. Alas that we must dwell, my heart and I, So far asunder! Hours wax to days, and days and days creep by; I watch with wistful eye, I wait and wonder: When will that day draw nigh -- that hour draw nigh? Not yesterday, and not I think to-day; Perhaps to-morrow. Day after day 'To-morrow' thus I say: I watched so yesterday In hope and sorrow, Again to-day I watch the accustomed way. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ABOARD!
