CHARITY, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I praised the myrtle and the rose Last Line: In charity. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Beauty; Charity; Love; Sun; Philanthropy | ||||||||
I praised the myrtle and the rose, At sunrise in their beauty vying; I passed them at the short day's close, And both were dying. The summer sun his rays was throwing Brightly; yet ere I sought my rest, His last cold ray, more deeply glowing, Died in the west. After this bleak world's stormy weather, All, all, save Love alone, shall die; For Faith and Hope shall merge together In Charity. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOW THE GREAT GUEST CAME by EDWIN MARKHAM CHARITY OVERCOMING ENVY by MARIANNE MOORE PASSING IT ON by NAOMI SHIHAB NYE THE IDEA OF SOUP by NORMAN DUBIE THE [EXCELLENT] BALLADE OF CHARITIE by THOMAS CHATTERTON SONG OF THREE SMILES by WILLIAM STANLEY MERWIN RECUERDO by EDNA ST.
