The Blessed Damozel - selection two (of two)
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
"I wish that he were come to me,
For he will come," she said.
"Have I not prayed in Heaven? - on earth,
Lord, Lord, has he not pray'd?
Are not two prayers a perfect strength?
And shall I feel afraid?
"When round his head the aureole clings,
And he is clothed in white,
I'll take his hand and go with him
To the deep wells of light;
As unto a stream we will step down,
And bathe there in God's sight."
