Christina Georgina Rossetti - AloofChristina Georgina Rossetti - Aloof
Work rating: Low


THE irresponsive silence of the land,    The irresponsive sounding of the sea,    Speak both one message of one sense to me:— Aloof, aloof, we stand aloof, so stand Thou too aloof, bound with the flawless band    Of inner solitude; we bind not thee;    But who from thy self-chain shall set thee free? What heart shall touch thy heart? What hand thy hand? And I am sometimes proud and sometimes meek,    And sometimes I remember days of old When fellowship seem`d not so far to seek,    And all the world and I seem`d much less cold,    And at the rainbow`s foot lay surely gold, And hope felt strong, and life itself not weak.
