Christina Georgina Rossetti (Кристина Джорджина Россетти)

* * *

I am a King,
Or an Emperor rather,
I wear crown-imperial
And prince's-feather;
Golden-rod is the sceptre
I wield and wag,
And a broad purple flag-flower
Waves for my flag.
Elder the pithy
With old-man and sage,
These are my councillors
Green in old age;
Lord-and-ladies in silence
Stand round me and wait,
While gay ragged-robin
Makes bows at my gate. 

1. Maude Clare
2. Fata Morgana
3. Song (O roses for the flush of youth)
4. An Apple Gathering
5. A Peal of Bells
