TO CHRISTINA ROSSETTI by WILLIAM WATSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: TWO SONGSTRESSES HAVE SUNG BENEATH THE SUN
Last Line: AND BLUE ABOVE THE OTHER IS THE SEA.
Subject(s): ROSSETTI, CHRISTINA GEORGINA (1830-1894);
TWO songstresses have sung beneath the sun
As goldenly as thou dost -- but not three!
Of those sweet twain the grass is green o'er one:
And blue above the other is the sea.
