THE HILLS ARE TIPPED WITH SUNSHINE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

Last Line: Song where the choirs of sunny heaven stand choired
Subject(s): MOUNTAINS; WALKING; NATURE; WEARINESS;
The hills are tipped with sunshine, while I walk
In shadows dim and cold:
The unawakened rose sleeps on her stalk
In a bud's fold.
Until the sun flood all the world with gold.

The hills are crowned with glory, and the glow
Flows widening down apace:
Unto the sunny hill-tops I, set low,
Lift a tired face, ''"
Ah happy rose, content to wait for grace I

How tired a face, how tired a brain, how tired
A heart I lift, who long
For something never felt but still desired;
Sunshine and song.
Song where the choirs of sunny heaven stand choired.
