FOR ROSALINE'S ALBUM by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: DO YOU HEAR THE LOW WINDS SINGING
Last Line: NONE MUST COME SAVE YOU AND SHE.
Subject(s): BELLS; BROOKS; MOTHERS; WIND; STREAMS; CREEKS;

Do you hear the low winds singing,
And streams singing on their bed? --
Very distant bells are ringing
In a chapel for the dead: --
Death-pale better than life-red.

Mother, come to me in rest,
And bring little May to see. --
Shall I bid no other guest? --
Seven slow nights have passed away
Over my forgotten clay:
None must come save you and she.
