BIRCHINGTON CHURCH-YARD, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: A lowly hill which overlooks a flat Last Line: Silent and neither swift nor slow. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Churchyards; Rossetti, Dante Gabriel (1828-1882) | |||
A lowly hill which overlooks a flat, Half sea, half country side; A flat-shored sea of low-voiced creeping tide Over a chalky weedy mat. A hill of hillocks, flowery and kept green Round Crosses raised for hope, With many-tinted sunsets where the slope Faces the lingering western sheen. A lowly hope, a height that is but low, While Time sets solemnly, While the tide rises of Eternity, Silent and neither swift nor slow. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET FOR A PICTURE by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE AT THE GRAVE OF DANTE GABRIEL ROSSETTI by H.
