Christina Rossetti - Sonnets Are Full of Love

Lyrics

Sonnets are full of love, and this my tome Has many sonnets: so here now shall be One sonnet more, a love sonnet, from me To her whose heart is my heart's quiet home To my first Love, my Mother, on whose knee I learnt love-lore that is not troublesome; Whose service is my special dignity And she my loadstar while I go and come And so because you love me, and because I love you, Mothеr, I have woven a wreath Of rhymеs wherewith to crown your honoured name: In you not fourscore years can dim the flame Of love, whose blessed glow transcends the laws Of time and change and mortal life and death
