ROSES ON A BRIER, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: Where shall be no more sea. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Death; Sea | ||||||||
Roses on a brier, Pearls from out the bitter sea, Such is earth's desire However pure it be. Neither bud nor brier, Neither pearl nor brine for me: Be stilled, my long desire; There shall be no more sea. Be stilled, my passionate heart; Old earth shall end, new earth shall be; Be still, and earn thy part Where shall be no more sea. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
