MY MOUSE, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: A venus seems my mouse Last Line: Keep house. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Memory; Mice; Sea; Ocean | ||||||||
A Venus seems my Mouse Come safe ashore from foaming seas, Which in a small way & at ease Keeps house. An Iris seems my Mouse, Bright bow of that exhausted shower Which made a world of sweet-herbs flower And boughs. A darling Mouse it is: -- Part hope not likely to take wing, Part memory, part anything You please. Venus-cum-Iris Mouse From shifting tides set safe apart, In no mere bottle, in my heart Keep house. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HALL OF OCEAN LIFE by JOHN HOLLANDER JULY FOURTH BY THE OCEAN by ROBINSON JEFFERS BOATS IN A FOG by ROBINSON JEFFERS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE FIGUREHEAD by LEONIE ADAMS 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 |
