IS IT WELL WITH THE CHILD' by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: LYING A-DYING
Last Line: And God the Temple
Subject(s): DEATH – CHILDREN; GOD;

Lying a-dying.
Have done with vain sighing:
Life not lost but treasured,
God Almighty pleasured,
God's daughter fetched and carried,
Christ's bride betrothed and married.
Our tender little dove
Meek-eyed and simple.
Our love goes home to Love:
There shall she walk in white.
Where God shall be the Light,
And God the Temple.
