WHITSUN MONDAY, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: We know not a voice of that river Last Line: The pure river flows. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Whitsun | ||||||||
WE know not a voice of that River, If vocal or silent it be, Where for ever and ever and ever It flows to no sea. More deep than the seas is that River, More full than their manifold tides, Where for ever and ever and ever It flows and abides. Pure gold is the bed of that River (The gold of that land is the best), Where for ever and ever and ever It flows on at rest. Oh goodly the banks of that River, Oh goodly the fruits that they bear, Where for ever and ever and ever It flows and is fair. For lo on each bank of that River The Tree of Life life-giving grows, Where for ever and ever and ever The Pure River flows. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHITSUN DAY by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI WHITSUN EVE (1) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI WHITSUN EVE (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI WHITSUN TUESDAY by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI 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 A BED OF FORGET-ME-NOTS by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BETTER RESURRECTION by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BIRTHDAY by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
