VALENTINES TO MY MOTHER: 1881 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: TOO COLD ALMOST FOR HOPE OF SPRING
Last Line: IS ALL IN ALL?
Subject(s): HOLIDAYS; LOVE; MOTHERS; VALENTINE'S DAY;

Too cold almost for hope of Spring
Or firstfruits from the realm of flowers,
Your dauntless Valentine, I bring
One sprig of love, and sing
"Love has no Winter hours" --.

If even in this world love is love
(This wintry world which felt the Fall),
What must it be in Heaven above
Where love to great and small
Is all in all?
