Why does the sea moan evermore? Shut out from heaven it makes its moan, It frets against the boundary shore; All earth's full rivers cannot fill The sea, that drinking thirsteth still.
Christina RossettiThe loves that meet in Paradise shall cast out fear, And Paradise hath room for you and me and all.
Christina RossettiOh roses for the flush of youth, And laurel for the perfect prime; But pluck an ivy branch for me Grown old before my time.
