The Complete Poems of Christina Rossetti | ||
[Laughing Life cries at the feast,—]
Laughing Life cries at the feast,—Craving Death cries at the door,—
“Fish, or fowl, or fatted beast?”
“Come with me, thy feast it o'er.”—
“Wreathe the violets.”—“Watch them fade.”—
“I am sunshine.”—“I am shade:
I am the sun-burying west.”—
“I am pleasure.”—“I am rest:
Come with me, for I am best.”
