The Bourne

________________________________________________
Title:     The Bourne
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti [More Titles by Rossetti]

Underneath the growing grass,
Underneath the living flowers,
Deeper than the sound of showers:
There we shall not count the hours
By the shadows as they pass.

Youth and health will be but vain,
Beauty reckoned of no worth:
There a very little girth
Can hold round what once the earth
Seemed too narrow to contain.

[The end]
Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem: Bourne
