    In calm or stormy weather;
    To cheer one on the tedious way,
    To fetch one if one goes astray,
    To lift one if one totters down,
    To strengthen whilst one stands.
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    Hush’d in and curtain’d with a blessed dearth
    Of all that irk’d her from the hour of birth;
    With stillness that is almost Paradise.
    Darkness more clear than noonday holdeth her,
    Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    Their fruits like honey to the throat
    But poison in the blood
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    Yet come to me in dreams that I may live
    My very life again though cold in death:
    Come back to me in dreams, that I may give
    Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
    Speak low, lean low,
    As long ago, my love, how long ago.
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
