A ROUNDEL SEEMS TO FIT A ROUND OF DAYS by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

Last Line: In building up, all Poets to amaze
Subject(s): ROUNDELS; POETRY & POETS;
A roundel seems to fit a round of days
Be they the days of upright man or scoundrel:
Allow me to construct then in your praise
A roundel.
(This flower of wit turns out a weed like groundsel:
Yet deign to welcome it, as loftiest bays
Grown on the shore of Girvan's ocean groundswell.)
Accept the love that underlies the lays;
Condone the barbarous rhymes that will not sound well
In building up, all Poets to amaze.
