Dream Land<\/h1>\n

by Christina Rossetti<\/p>\n

Where sunless rivers weep
\nTheir waves into the deep,
\nShe sleeps a charm’d sleep:
\nAwake her not.
\nLed by a single star,
\nShe came from very far
\nTo seek where shadows are
\nHer pleasant lot.
\nShe left the rosy morn,
\nShe left the fields of corn, 10
\nFor twilight cold and lorn
\nAnd water springs.
\nThrough sleep, as through a veil,
\nShe sees the sky look pale,
\nAnd hears the nightingale
\nThat sadly sings.
\nRest, rest, a perfect rest
\nShed over brow and breast;
\nHer face is toward the west,
\nThe purple land. 20
\nShe cannot see the grain
\nRipening on hill and plain;
\nShe cannot feel the rain
\nUpon her hand.
\nRest, rest, for evermore
\nUpon a mossy shore;
\nRest, rest at the heart’s core
\nTill time shall cease:
\nSleep that no pain shall wake;
\nNight that no morn shall break 30
\nTill joy shall overtake
\nHer perfect peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
