Christina Georgina Rossetti - Bird Or Beast?Christina Georgina Rossetti - Bird Or Beast?
Work rating: Low


Did any bird come flying  After Adam and Eve, When the door was shut against them  And they sat down to grieve? I think not Eve`s peacock  Splendid to see, And I think not Adam`s eagle;  But a dove may be. Did any beast come pushing  Through the thorny hedge Into the thorny thistly world,  Out from Eden`s edge? I think not a lion,  Though his strength is such; But an innocent loving lamb  May have done as much. If the dove preached from her bough  and the lamb from his sod, The lamb and dove  Were preachers sent from God.
