A Birthday : : By Christina Rossetti : My heart is like a singing birdWhose nest is in a water’d shoot;My heart is like an apple-treeWhose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;My heart is like a rainbow shellThat paddles in a halcyon sea;My heart is gladder than all theseBecause my love is come to me.Continue reading “A Birthday : Christina Rossetti : : Bird Poems : :”

An October GardenChristina Rossetti – 1830-1894 In my Autumn garden I was fain To mourn among my scattered roses; Alas for that last rosebud which unclosesTo Autumn’s languid sun and rainWhen all the world is on the wane!

Broad-faced astersContinue reading “An October Garden : Christina Rossetti : ( 1 ) : : Poem Recitation : ( 2 ) : : October Poems : : Months Poems : :”

From Sunset to Star Rise:Christina Rossetti Go from me, summer friends, and tarry not: I am no summer friend, but wintry cold, A silly sheep benighted from the fold,A sluggard with a thorn-choked garden plot.Take counsel, sever from my lot your lot, Dwell in your pleasant places, hoard your gold; Lest you with me shouldContinue reading “From Sunset To Star Rise : Christina Rossetti : : Autumn Poems : :”
When I am dead, my dearest : Christina Rossetti : : Death Poems : :
SongWhen I am dead, my dearest,Sing no sad songs for me;Plant thou no roses at my head,Nor shady cypress tree:Be the green grass above meWith showers and dewdrops wet:And if thou wilt, remember,And if thou wilt, forget.

Spring : Christina Rossetti : : Spring Time Classic : :
Spring Frost-locked all the winter,Seeds, and roots, and stones of fruits,What shall make their sap ascendThat they may put forth shoots?Tips of tender green,Leaf, or blade, or sheath;Telling of the hidden lifeThat breaks forth underneath,Life nursed in its grave by Death. Blows the thaw-wind pleasantly,Drips the soaking rain,By fits looks down the waking sun:Young grassContinue reading “Spring : Christina Rossetti : : Spring Time Classic : :”
