Christina Georgina Rossetti - Gone For Ever
Work rating: Low

O happy rosebud blooming 
Upon thy parent tree, 
Nay, thou art too presuming 
For soon the earth entombing 
Thy faded charms shall be, 
And the chill damp consuming. 


O happy skylark springing 
Up to the broad blue sky, 
Too fearless in thy winging, 
Too gladsome in thy singing, 
Thou also soon shalt lie 
Where no sweet notes are ringing. 


And through life`s shine and shower 
We shall have joy and pain; 
But in the summer bower, 
And at the morning hour, 
We still shall look in vain 
For the same bird and flower.
