SORROW HATH A DOUBLE VOICE, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: Farewell to sorrow! Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Pleasure; Grief | |||
SORROW hath a double voice, Sharp to-day but sweet to-morrow: Wait in patience, hope, rejoice, Tried friends of sorrow. Pleasure hath a double taste, Sweet to-day, but sharp to-morrow: Friends of pleasure, rise in haste, Make friends with sorrow. Pleasure set aside to-day Comes again to rule to-morrow: Welcomed sorrow will not stay, Farewell to sorrow! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONOMA FIRE by JANE HIRSHFIELD AS THE SPARKS FLY UPWARDS by JOHN HOLLANDER WHAT GREAT GRIEF HAS MADE THE EMPRESS MUTE by JUNE JORDAN CHAMBER MUSIC: 19 by JAMES JOYCE I HAVE FOLDED MY SORROWS by BOB KAUFMAN IT IS FINISHED' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ITALIA, IO TI SALUTO!' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI THE HEART KNOWETH ITS OWN BITTERNESS' (2) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI |
