Golden Glories Christina Rossetti
"Golden Glories" by Christina Rossetti, a 19th-century poet, explores themes of beauty, transience, and the pursuit of spiritual fulfillment. The lyrics reflect a longing for divine light amidst earthly struggles. While not a song in a traditional sense, its lyrical quality has influenced various musical adaptations. #Poetry
The buttercup is like a golden cup,
The marigold is like a golden frill,
The daisy with a golden eye looks up,
And golden spreads the flag beside the rill,
And gay and golden nods the daffodil,
The gorsey common swells a golden sea,
The cowslip hangs a head of golden tips,
And golden drips the honey which the bee
Sucks from sweet hearts of flowers and stores and sips.
The marigold is like a golden frill,
The daisy with a golden eye looks up,
And golden spreads the flag beside the rill,
And gay and golden nods the daffodil,
The gorsey common swells a golden sea,
The cowslip hangs a head of golden tips,
And golden drips the honey which the bee
Sucks from sweet hearts of flowers and stores and sips.
