WHITSUN DAY, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: At sound as of rushing wind, and sight as of fire Last Line: In the power of the holy ghost. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Whitsun | ||||||||
AT sound as of rushing wind, and sight as of fire, Lo flesh and blood made spirit and fiery flame, Ambassadors in Christ's and the Father's Name, To woo back a world's desire. These men chose death for their life and shame for their boast, For fear courage, for doubt intuition of faith, Chose love that is strong as death and stronger than death In the power of the Holy Ghost. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...WHITSUN EVE (1) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI WHITSUN EVE (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI WHITSUN MONDAY by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI WHITSUN TUESDAY by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI 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 A BED OF FORGET-ME-NOTS by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BETTER RESURRECTION by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI A BIRTHDAY by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
