AS THE APPLE TREE AMONG THE TREES OF THE WOOD, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: As one red rose in a garden where all other roses are white Last Line: Chief and centre of all, in fellowship yet alone. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Jesus Christ | ||||||||
As one red rose in a garden where all other roses are white Blossoms alone in its glory, crowned all alone In a solitude of own sweetness and fragrance of own delight, With loveliness not another's and thorns its own; As one ruddy sun amid million orbs comely and colourless, Among all others, above all others is known; As it were alone in the garden, alone in the heavenly place, Chief and centre of all, in fellowship yet alone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE GREEN CHRIST by ANDREW HUDGINS MEDITATION ON SAVIORS by ROBINSON JEFFERS COMPANIONSHIP by MALTBIE DAVENPORT BABCOCK TO A WREN ON CALVARY by LARRY LEVIS THE TRANSFIGURATION by EDWIN MUIR SOUNDS OF THE RESURRECTED DEAD MAN'S FOOTSTEPS (#3): 1.
