The Complete Poems of Christina Rossetti | ||
TO MY FRIEND ELIZABETH.
Sweetest Elizabeth, accept I prayThese lowly stamps I send in homage true;
91
Are not to be despised, though poor to view.
Their livery of red and black, nor gay,
Nor sober all, is typical of you,
In whom are gravity and gladness mixed.
Thought here, smiles there; perfection lies betwixt.
