The Complete Poems of Christina Rossetti | ||
“Behold, it was very good.”
All things are fair, if we had eyes to see
How first God made them goodly everywhere:
And goodly still in Paradise they be,—
All things are fair.
How first God made them goodly everywhere:
267
All things are fair.
O Lord, the solemn heavens Thy praise declare;
The multi-fashioned saints bring praise to Thee,
As doves fly home and cast away their care.
The multi-fashioned saints bring praise to Thee,
As doves fly home and cast away their care.
As doves on divers branches of their tree,
Perched high or low, sit all contented there
Not mourning any more; in each degree
All things are fair.
Perched high or low, sit all contented there
Not mourning any more; in each degree
All things are fair.
