WHO SHALL SAY by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: I TOILED ON, BUT THOU
Last Line: STILL REMEMBEREST THOU?
Subject(s): ABSENCE; HEARTS; LOVE; REST; SEPARATION; ISOLATION;
I toiled on, but thou
Wast weary of the way,
And so we parted: now
Who shall say
Which is happier -- I or thou?

I am weary now
On the solitary way:
But art thou rested, thou?
Who shall say
Which of us is calmer now?

Still my heart's love, thou,
In thy secret way,
Art still remembered now:
Who shall say --
Still rememberest thou?
