    Until the morning of Eternity
    Her rest shall not begin nor end, but be;
    And when she wakes she will not think it long.

    I smiled at the speech you spoke,
    At your judgement that I heard:
    But I have not often smiled
    Since then, nor questioned since,
    Nor cared for corn-flowers wild,
    Nor sung with the singing bird.
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)

    You took my heart in your hand
    With a friendly smile,
    With a critical eye you scanned,
    Then set it down,
    And said: It is still unripe,
    Better wait awhile;
    —Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894)
