VIGIL OF THE PRESENTATION by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: LONG AND DARK THE NIGHTS, DIM AND SHORT THE DAYS
Last Line: THEE OUR GOD WE PRAISE.

LONG and dark the nights, dim and short the days,
Mounting weary heights on our weary ways,
Thee our God we praise.
Scaling heavenly heights by unearthly ways,
Thee our God we praise all our nights and days,
Thee our God we praise.
