LENT by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: IT IS GOOD TO BE LAST NOT FIRST
Last Line: SO IT LEADS US TO EASTER DAY.
Subject(s): LENT;
IT is good to be last not first,
Pending the present distress;
It is good to hunger and thirst,
So it be for righteousness.
It is good to spend and be spent,
It is good to watch and to pray:
Life and Death make a goodly Lent
So it leads us to Easter Day.
