MEETING (1), by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: If we shall live, we live Last Line: Never to part more. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Love | ||||||||
If we shall live, we live: If we shall die, we die: If we live we shall meet again: But to-night, good-bye. One word, let but one be heard -- What, not one word? If we sleep we shall wake again And see to-morrow's light: If we wake, we shall meet again: But to-night, good-night. Good-night, my lost and found -- Still not a sound? If we live, we must part: If we die, we part in pain: If we die, we shall part Only to meet again. By those tears on either cheek, To-morrow you will speak. To meet, worth living for: Worth dying for, to meet. To meet, worth parting for: Bitter forgot in sweet. To meet, worth parting before, Never to part more. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE INVENTION OF LOVE by MATTHEA HARVEY TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS A LOVE FOR FOUR VOICES: HOMAGE TO FRANZ JOSEPH HAYDN by ANTHONY HECHT AN OFFERING FOR PATRICIA by ANTHONY HECHT LATE AFTERNOON: THE ONSLAUGHT OF LOVE by ANTHONY HECHT A SWEETENING ALL AROUND ME AS IT FALLS by JANE HIRSHFIELD 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 |
