Poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti

* * *

Rosy maiden Winifred,
With a milkpail on her head,
Tripping through the corn,
While the dew lies on the wheat
In the sunny morn.
Scarlet shepherd's-weatherglass
Spreads wide open at her feet
As they pass;
Cornflowers give their almond smell
While she brushes by,
And a lark sings from the sky
‘All is well.’

1. In the Round Tower at Jhansi, June 8, 1857
2. Confluents
3. An End
4. A Dirge
5. Love from the North
