Christina Rossetti

"Sleeping at last, the trouble and tumult over, Sleeping at last, the struggle and horror past, Cold and white, out of sight of friend and of lover, Sleeping at last."

"In the bleak mid-winter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak mid-winter Long ago."

"The birthday of my life Is come, my love is come to me."

"Better by far you should forget and smile Than that you should remember and be sad."

"Does the road wind up-hill all the way? Yes, to the very end. Will the days journey take the whole long day? From morn to night, my friend."

"Remember me when I am gone away, Gone far away into the silent land."
