[Had Fortune parted us] |
The Complete Poems of Christina Rossetti | ||
[Had Fortune parted us]
Had Fortune parted us
Fortune is blind,
Had Anger parted us
Anger unkind—
But since God parts us
Let us part humbly
Bearing our burden
Bravely & dumbly.
Fortune is blind,
Had Anger parted us
Anger unkind—
But since God parts us
Let us part humbly
Bearing our burden
Bravely & dumbly.
And since there is but one
Heaven, not another,
Let us not close that door
Against each other.
God's Love is higher than mine,
Christ's tenfold proved,
Yet even I would die
For thee Beloved.
Heaven, not another,
Let us not close that door
Against each other.
God's Love is higher than mine,
Christ's tenfold proved,
Yet even I would die
For thee Beloved.
