Poems (Rossetti, 1901)/"Luscious and Sorrowful"

​

"LUSCIOUS AND SORROWFUL"
BEAUTIFUL, tender, wasting away for sorrow; Thus to-day; and how shall it be with thee to-morrow?   Beautiful, tender—what else?     A hope tells.
Beautiful, tender, keeping the jubilee In the land of home together, past death and sea;  No more change or death, no more     Salt sea-shore.
