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. Noble Sisters
3. Confluents
4. Love from the North
5. An End
