TRULY THE LIGHT IS SWEET by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: LIGHT COLOURLESS DOTH COLOUR ALL THINGS ELSE
Last Line: OH WELL IS THEE, AND HAPPY SHALT THOU BE.

LIGHT colourless doth colour all things else:
Where light dwells pleasure dwells
And peace excels.
Then rise and shine,
Thou shadowed soul of mine,
And let a cheerful rainbow make thee fine.

Light, fountain of all beauty and delight,
Leads day forth from the night,
Turns blackness white.
Light waits for thee
Where all have eyes to see:
Oh well is thee, and happy shalt thou be.
