After Christina Rossetti


I'll patiently wait

knowing it's not late

it's just the early sunset

night will be in step-


she will appear

in love gladly wrapped

our faithfulness

will be sacredly kept-


past years' joys will surface

how could we ever forget?

when in silence and devotion

our lips passionately met-


now the moon and stars

their light they tenderly shed

in my warm bosom she will rest

till the dawn rises from its cosy bed
