WHO IS THIS THAT COMETH UP NOT ALONE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Who is this?
Subject(s): MARRIAGE; IDENTITY;
WHO is this that cometh up not alone
From the fiery-flying serpent wilderness
Leaning upon her own Beloved One,
Who is this?

Lo, the King of King'''s daughter, a high princess,
Going home as bride to her Husband'''s Throne,
Virgin queen in perfected loveliness.

Her eyes a dove'''s eyes and her voice a dove'''s moan,
She shows like a full moon for heavenliness,
Eager saints and angels ask in heaven'''s zone:
Who is this?
