A poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti

Memento Mori

________________________________________________
Title:     Memento Mori
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti [More Titles by Rossetti]

Poor the pleasure
Doled out by measure,
Sweet though it be, while brief
As falling of the leaf;
Poor is pleasure
By weight and measure.

Sweet the sorrow
Which ends to-morrow;
Sharp though it be and sore,
It ends for evermore:
Zest of sorrow,
What ends to-morrow.





[The end]
Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem: Memento Mori
