The Complete Poems of Christina Rossetti | ||
“She shall be brought unto the King.”
The King's Daughter is all glorious within,
Her clothing of wrought gold sets forth her bliss;
Where the endless choruses of heaven begin
The King's Daughter is;
Her clothing of wrought gold sets forth her bliss;
Where the endless choruses of heaven begin
The King's Daughter is;
Perfect her notes in the perfect harmonies;
With tears wiped away, no conscience of sin,
Loss forgotten and sorrowful memories;
With tears wiped away, no conscience of sin,
Loss forgotten and sorrowful memories;
282
Alight with Cherubin, afire with Seraphin,
Lily for pureness, rose for charities,
With joy won and with joy evermore to win,
The King's Daughter is.
Lily for pureness, rose for charities,
With joy won and with joy evermore to win,
The King's Daughter is.
