ALL THINGS WAIT UPON THEE, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Innocent eyes not ours Last Line: As queens of kings. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Variant Title(s): These All Wait Upon Thee Subject(s): Animals | ||||||||
Innocent eyes not ours And made to look on flowers, Eyes of small birds and insects small; Morn after summer morn The sweet rose on her thorn Opens her bosom to them all. The last and least of things, That soar on quivering wings, Or crawl among the grass blades out of sight Have just as clear a right To their appointed portion of delight As queens of kings. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ROMANTIC MOMENTS by TONY HOAGLAND INSECT LIFE OF FLORIDA by LYNDA HULL THE ANIMALS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE PRESENCES by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES BESTIARY by EARL (EARLE) BIRNEY THE FARMER'S BOY: WINTER by ROBERT BLOOMFIELD 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 |
