JERUSALEM OF FIRE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Thy holiness their hire, / Jerusalem
Subject(s): JERUSALEM;

Jerusalem of fire
And gold and pearl and gem,
Saints flock to fill thy choir,
Jerusalem.

Lo, thrones thou hast for them;
Desirous they desire
Thy harp, thy diadem.

Thy bridal white attire,
A palm-branch from thy stem:
Thy holiness their hire,
Jerusalem.
