Christina Rossetti

“Lie still, lie still, my breaking heart; 
My silent heart, lie still and break: 
Life, and the world, and mine own self, are changed 
For a dream's sake.” 

Christina Rossetti

“Lie still, lie still, my breaking heart;
My silent heart, lie still and break:
Life, and the world, and mine own self, are changed
For a dream's sake.”

He feeds upon her face by day and night, And she with true kind eyes looks back on him, Fair as the moon and joyful as the light.
