Dante Gabriel Rossetti - Words On The Window-PaneDante Gabriel Rossetti - Words On The Window-Pane
Work rating: Low


DID she in summer write it, or in spring,            Or with this wail of autumn at her ears,            Or in some winter left among old years       Scratched it through tettered cark? A certain thing       That round her heart the frost was hardening,            Not to be thawed of tears, which on this pane            Channelled the rime, perchance, in fevered rain,       For false man`s sake and love`s most bitter sting.       Howbeit, between this last word and the next        Unwritten, subtly seasoned was the smart,                And here at least the grace to weep: if she,       Rather, midway in her disconsolate text, Rebelled not, loathing from the trodden heart                 That thing which she had found man`s love to be.
