GOD'S ACRE by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: HAIL, GARDEN OF CONFIDENT HOPE
Last Line: EACH AND ALL ONE BY ONE.
Subject(s): JESUS CHRIST; GARDENS & GARDENING; FLOWERS;
HAIL, garden of confident hope!
Where sweet seeds are quickening in darkness and cold;
For how sweet and how young will they be
When they pierce thro' the mould.
Balm, myrtle, and heliotrope
There watch and there wait out of sight for their Sun:
While the Sun, which they see not, doth see
Each and all one by one.
