Christina Rossetti Quotes About Rainbows

Quotes about: Rainbows

• My heart is like a singing bird Whose nest is in a water'd shoot; My heart is like an apple-tree Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit; My heart is like a rainbow shell That paddles in a halcyon sea; My heart is gladder than all these, Because my love is come to me. Raise me a daïs of silk and down; Hang it with vair and purple dyes; Carve it in doves and pomegranates, And peacocks with a hundred eyes; Work it in gold and silver grapes, In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys; Because the birthday of my life Is come, my love is come to me.

  Life, Work, Eye

  Christina Georgina Rossetti, “A Birthday”

• Spring's an expansive time: yet I don't trust
  March with its peck of dust,
  Nor April with its rainbow-crowned brief showers,
  Nor even May, whose flowers
  One frost may wither thro' the sunless hours.

  Christina Rossetti

  Spring, Flower, Winter

  Christina Rossetti (2012). “Goblin Market and Other Poems”, p.29, Courier Corporation

• And sometimes I remember days of old
  When fellowship seemed not so far to seek,
  And all the world and I seemed much less cold,
  And at the rainbow's foot lay surely gold,
  And hope felt strong, and life itself not weak.

  Christina Rossetti

  Strong, Feet, Rainbow
