Dante Gabriel Rossetti - Sonnet XXXI: Her GiftsDante Gabriel Rossetti - Sonnet XXXI: Her Gifts
Work rating: Low


High grace, the dower of queens; and therewithal Some wood-born wonder`s sweet simplicity; A glance like water brimming with the sky Or hyacinth-light where forest-shadows fall; Such thrilling pallor of cheek as doth enthral The heart; a mouth whose passionate forms imply All music and all silence held thereby; Deep golden locks, her sovereign coronal; A round reared neck, meet column of Love`s shrine To cling to when the heart takes sanctuary; Hands which for ever at Love`s bidding be, And soft-stirred feet still answering to his sign:— These are her gifts, as tongue may tell them o`er. Breathe low her name, my soul; for that means more.
