Dante Gabriel Rossetti - Returning To Brussels
Work rating: Low

Upon a Flemish road, when noon was deep, 
I passed a little consecrated shrine, 
Where, among simple pictures ranged in line, 
The blessed Mary holds her child asleep. 
To kneel here, shepherd-maidens leave their sheep 
When they feel grave because of the sunshine, 
And again kneel here in the day`s decline; 
And here, when their life ails them, come to weep. 
Night being full, I passed on the same road 
By the same shrine; within, a lamp was lit 
Which through the silence of clear darkness glowed. 
Thus, when life`s heat is past and doubts arise 
Darkling, the lamp of Faith must strengthen it, 
Which sometimes will not light and sometimes dies.
