IN RESURRECTION IS IT AWFULLER by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

Last Line: One in our resurrection-songs of praise
Subject(s): RESURRECTION, THE;
In Resurrection is it awfuller
That rising of the All or of the Each ''"
Of all kins of all nations of all speech,
Or one by one of him and him and her?
When dust reanimate begins to stir,
Here, there, beyond, beyond, reach beyond reach;
While every wave disgorges on its beach.
Alive or dead-in-life, some seafarer.
In Resurrection, on the day of days.
That day of mourning throughout all the earth,
In Resurrection may we meet again :
No more with stricken hearts to part in twain;
As once in sorrow one, now one in mirth.
One in our resurrection-songs of praise.
