Christina Rossetti Quotes About Summer

Quotes about: Summer

• Oh that it were with me
  As with the flower;
  Blooming on its own tree
  For butterfly and bee
  Its summer morns:
  That I might bloom mine hour
  A rose in spite of thorns.
  
  Oh that my work were done
  As birds' that soar
  Rejoicing in the sun:
  That when my time is run
  And daylight too,
  I so might rest once more
  Cool with refreshing dew.

  Summer, Running, Flower

• I wish I could remember the first day,
  First hour, first moment of your meeting me;
  If bright or dim the season it might be;
  Summer or winter for aught I can say.
  So, unrecorded did it slip away,
  So blind was i to see and to forsee,
  So dull to mark the budding of my tree
  That would not blossom, yet, for many a May.
