TRULY THE LIGHT IS SWEET, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Light colourless doth colour all things else Last Line: Oh well is thee, and happy shalt thou be. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina | ||||||||
LIGHT colourless doth colour all things else: Where light dwells pleasure dwells And peace excels. Then rise and shine, Thou shadowed soul of mine, And let a cheerful rainbow make thee fine. Light, fountain of all beauty and delight, Leads day forth from the night, Turns blackness white. Light waits for thee Where all have eyes to see: Oh well is thee, and happy shalt thou be. | 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 |
