Christina Georgina Rossetti - Sappho
Work rating: Medium

I sigh at day-dawn, and I sigh
When the dull day is passing by.
I sigh at evening, and again
I sigh when night brings sleep to men.
Oh! it were far better to die
Than thus forever mourn and sigh,
And in death`s dreamless sleep to be
Unconscious that none weep for me;
Eased from my weight of heaviness,
Forgetful of forgetfulness,
Resting from care and pain and sorrow
Thro` the long night that knows no morrow;
Living unloved, to die unknown,
Unwept, untended, and alone.
