“Daughter of Eve”

[Taki]

by Christina Rosetti


A fool I was to sleep at noon,
And wake when night is chilly
Beneath the comfortless cold moon;
A fool to pluck my rose too soon,
A fool to snap my lily.

My garden-plot I have not kept;
Faded and all-forsaken,
I weep as I have never wept:
Oh it was summer when I slept,
It's winter now I waken.

Talk what you please of future spring
And sun-warm'd sweet to-morrow:—
Stripp'd bare of hope and everything,
No more to laugh, no more to sing,
I sit alone with sorrow.

 

[Lefty]

I like it. I used to write a lot poetry. Now-a-days not so much. I miss writing, I need to get back to it.

every cup of coffee should come with a sleeping pill. it is NEVER a mistake to sleep. sleep is for most of us the only time when we can be at peace.

No more to laugh, no more to sing,
I sit alone with sorrow.

Is this poem about me?

What a beautiful read. Thank you so much for this.

I love coffee and I am totally okay with this.
