A poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti

"Summer Is Ended"

________________________________________________
Title:     "Summer Is Ended"
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti [More Titles by Rossetti]

To think that this meaningless thing was ever a rose
Scentless, colorless, _this!_
Will it ever be thus (who knows?)
Thus with our bliss,
If we wait till the close?

Though we care not to wait for the end, there comes the end
Sooner, later, at last,
Which nothing can mar, nothing mend:
An end locked fast,
Bent we cannot re-bend.






[The end]
Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem: "Summer Is Ended"
