The Complete Poems of Christina Rossetti | ||
[Thou sleepest where the lilies fade]
Thou sleepest where the lilies fade,
Thou dwellest where the lilies fade not;
Sweet, when thine earthly part decayed
Thy heavenly part decayed not.
Thou dwellest where the lilies fade not;
Sweet, when thine earthly part decayed
Thy heavenly part decayed not.
Thou dwellest where the roses blow,
The crimson roses bud and blossom;
While on thine eyes is heaped the snow,
The snow upon thy bosom.
The crimson roses bud and blossom;
While on thine eyes is heaped the snow,
The snow upon thy bosom.
