Christina Rossetti's Poetry

Til Tomorrow 

By Christina Rossetti 

Long have I longed, till I am tired

Of longing and desire; 

Farewell my points in vain desired,

My dying fire;

Farewell all things that die and fail and tire.

Springtime and youth and useless pleasure

And all my useless scheming, 

My hopes of unattainable treasure,

Dreams not worth dreaming,

Glow-worms that gleam but yield no warmth in gleaming,

Farewell all shows that fade in showing; 

My wish and joy stand over

Until tomorrow; Heaven is glowing

Thro' cloudy cover, 

Beyond all clouds loves me my Heavenly Lover.

 So, I'm in Houston for the summer living with my grandparents. Here are a few pics of the Friendswood and Galveston area. I'm reading a huge book right now, so it might be a while before I blog about it...
