Christina Rossetti - A Summer Wish lyrics

Live all thy sweet life through Sweet Rose, dew-sprent, Drop down thine evening dew To gather it anew When day is bright: I fancy thou wast meant Chiefly to give delight. Sing in the silent sky, Glad soaring bird; Sing out thy notes on high To sunbeam straying by Or pa**ing cloud; Heedless if thou art heard Sing thy full song aloud. O that it were with me As with the flower; Blooming on its own tree For bu*terfly and bee Its summer morns: That I might bloom mine hour A rose in spite of thorns. O that my work were done As birds' that soar Rejoicing in the sun: That when my time is run And daylight too, I so might rest once more Cool with refreshing dew.
