YET A LITTLE WHILE (1) by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: HEAVEN IS NOT FAR, THO' FAR THE SKY
Last Line: O LORD, HOW LONG?

HEAVEN is not far, tho' far the sky
Overarching earth and main.
It takes not long to live and die,
Die, revive, and rise again.
Not long: how long? Oh long reechoing song!
O Lord, how long?
