A poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti

My Friend

________________________________________________
Title:     My Friend
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti [More Titles by Rossetti]

Two days ago with dancing glancing hair,
With living lips and eyes:
Now pale, dumb, blind, she lies;
So pale, yet still so fair.

We have not left her yet, not yet alone;
But soon must leave her where
She will not miss our care,
Bone of our bone.

Weep not; O friends, we should not weep:
Our friend of friends lies full of rest;
No sorrow rankles in her breast,
Fallen fast asleep.

She sleeps below,
She wakes and laughs above;
To-day, as she walked, let us walk in love,
To-morrow follow so.



[The end]
Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem: My Friend
