THE GOAL IN SIGHT! LOOK UP AND SING by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

Last Line: The goal in sight
Subject(s): LIFE; DEATH;
THE GOAL in sight! Look up and sing,
Set faces full against the light,
Welcome with rapturous welcoming
The goal in sight.

Let be the left, let be the right:
Straight forward make your footsteps ring
A loud alarum through the night.

Death hunts you, yea, but reft of sting;
Your bed is green, your shroud is white:
Hail! Life and Death and all that bring
The goal in sight.
