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.
