OF MY LIFE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: I WEARY OF MY LIFE
Last Line: IF I MIGHT DIE!
Subject(s): DEATH; LIFE; SOUL; DEAD, THE;
I weary of my life
Thro' the long sultry day,
While happy creatures play
Their harmless lives away: --
What is my life?

I weary of my life
Thro' the slow tedious night,
While earth and heaven's delight
The moon walks forth in white: --
What is my life?

If I might I would die;
My soul should flee away
To day that is not day
Where sweet souls sing and say. --
If I might die!

If I might I would die;
My body out of sight,
All night that is not night
My soul should walk in white --
If I might die!
