Christina Georgina Rossetti Poems

I took my heart in my hand
(O my love, O my love),
I said: Let me fall or stand,
Let me live or die,
...

Baby cry -
Oh fie! -
At the physic in the cup:
Gulp it twice
...

MORNING and evening
Maids heard the goblins cry:
"Come buy our orchard fruits,
Come buy, come buy:
...

Here where I dwell I waste to skin and bone;
The curse is come upon me, and I waste
In penal torment powerless to atone.
...
