SURSUM CORDA, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Lift up your hearts Last Line: And take my will, and take my heart, and take me too. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina | ||||||||
'LIFT up your hearts.' 'We lift them up.' Ah me! I cannot, Lord, lift up my heart to Thee: Stoop, lift it up, that where Thou art I too may be. 'Give Me thy heart.' I would not say Thee nay, But have no power to keep or give away My heart: stoop, Lord, and take it to Thyself to-day. Stoop, Lord, as once before, now once anew; Stoop, Lord, and hearken, hearken, Lord, and do, And take my will, and take my heart, and take me too. | 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 |
