VIGIL OF ALL SAINTS by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: UP, MY DROWSING EYES
Last Line: UP! LET'S TRUDGE ANOTHER MILE.
Subject(s): SAINTS;
UP, my drowsing eyes!
Up, my sinking heart!
Up to Jesus Christ arise!
Claim your part
In all raptures of the skies.

Yet a little while,
Yet a little way,
Saints shall reap and rest and smile
All the day.
Up! let's trudge another mile.
