VALENTINES TO MY MOTHER: 1877 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: OWN MOTHER DEAR
Last Line: BECAUSE THE SAME.
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; LOVE; MOTHERS; VALENTINE'S DAY;
Own Mother dear,
We all rejoicing here
Wait for each other,
Daughter for Mother,
Sister for Brother,
Till each dear face appear
Transfigured by Love's flame
Yet still the same, --
The same yet new, --
My face to you,
Your face to me,
Made lovelier by Love's flame
But still the same;
Most dear to see
In halo of Love's flame,
Because the same.
