ONE SEA-SIDE GRAVE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: UNMINDFUL OF THE ROSES
Last Line: BUT ONE REMEMBERS YET.
Subject(s): GRAVES; TOMBS; TOMBSTONES;

Unmindful of the roses,
Unmindful of the thorn,
A reaper tired reposes
Among his gathered corn:
So might I, till the morn!

Cold as the cold Decembers,
Past as the days that set,
While only one remembers
And all the rest forget, --
But one remembers yet.
