Dream Land

by Christina Rossetti

Where sunless rivers weep
Their waves into the deep,
She sleeps a charm’d sleep:
Awake her not.
Led by a single star,
She came from very far
To seek where shadows are
Her pleasant lot.
She left the rosy morn,
She left the fields of corn, 10
For twilight cold and lorn
And water springs.
Through sleep, as through a veil,
She sees the sky look pale,
And hears the nightingale
That sadly sings.
Rest, rest, a perfect rest
Shed over brow and breast;
Her face is toward the west,
The purple land. 20
She cannot see the grain
Ripening on hill and plain;
She cannot feel the rain
Upon her hand.
Rest, rest, for evermore
Upon a mossy shore;
Rest, rest at the heart’s core
Till time shall cease:
Sleep that no pain shall wake;
Night that no morn shall break 30
Till joy shall overtake
Her perfect peace.

    understands what they are discussing on the internet.
    You definitely know how to bring a problem to light and make it
    important. A lot more people really need to look at this and understand this side
    of the story. I can’t believe you’re not more popular since
    you certainly have the gift.

    speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I stumbled across this during my hunt for something concerning this.
