BY WAY OF REMEMBRANCE, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Remember, if I claim too much of you Last Line: Have borne you in their arms and fetched you hence. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina | ||||||||
Remember, if I claim too much of you, I claim it of my brother and my friend: Have patience with me till the hidden end, Bitter or sweet, in mercy shut from view. Pay me my due; though I to pay your due Am all too poor and past what will can mend: Thus of your bounty you must give and lend Still unrepaid by aught I look to do. Still unrepaid by aught of mine on earth: But overpaid, please God, when recompense Beyond the mystic Jordan and new birth Is dealt to virtue as to innocence; When Angels singing praises in their mirth Have borne you in their arms and fetched you hence. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BED OF FORGET-ME-NOTS by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BETTER RESURRECTION by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BIRTHDAY by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A CHRISTMAS CAROL (1) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A CHRISTMAS CAROL (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A DIRGE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A LIFE'S PARALLELS by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A PAUSE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
