Dante Gabriel Rossetti - Sonnet XXI: Love SweetnessDante Gabriel Rossetti - Sonnet XXI: Love Sweetness
Work rating: Low


Sweet dimness of her loosened hair`s downfall About thy face; her sweet hands round thy head In gracious fostering union garlanded; Her tremulous smiles; her glances` sweet recall Of love; her murmuring sighs memorial; Her mouth`s culled sweetness by thy kisses shed On cheeks and neck and eyelids, and so led Back to her mouth which answers there for all:— What sweeter than these things, except the thing In lacking which all these would lose their sweet:— The confident heart`s still fervour: the swift beat And soft subsidence of the spirit`s wing, Then when it feels, in cloud-girt wayfaring, The breath of kindred plumes against its feet?
