A Smile And A Sigh

Title:     A Smile And A Sigh
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti [More Titles by Rossetti]

A smile because the nights are short!
And every morning brings such pleasure
Of sweet love-making, harmless sport:
Love that makes and finds its treasure;
Love, treasure without measure.

A sigh because the days are long!
Long, long these days that pass in sighing,
A burden saddens every song:
While time lags which should be flying,
We live who would be dying.

[The end]
Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem: Smile And A Sigh
