Poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti

* * *

The summer nights are short
Where northern days are long:
For hours and hours lark after lark
Trills out his song.
The summer days are short
Where southern nights are long:
Yet short the night when nightingales
Trill out their song. 

1. Song (O roses for the flush of youth)
2. An Apple Gathering
3. In the Round Tower at Jhansi, June 8, 1857
4. A Peal of Bells
5. Love from the North
