WHO CARES FOR EARTHLY BREAD THO WHITE? by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

Last Line: And bid you meet me there again
Subject(s): RELATIONSHIPS;
Who cares for earthly bread tho' white?
Nay, heavenly sheaf of harvest corn!
Who cares for earthly crown to-night?
Nay, heavenly crown to-morrow morn!
I will not wander left or right.
The straightest road is shortest too;
And since we hold all hope in view
And triumph where is no more pain.
To-night I bid good night to you
And bid you meet me there again.
