Christina Georgina Rossetti

Who Hath Despised the Day of Small Things?

As violets so be I recluse and sweet,
Cheerful as daisies unaccounted rare,
Still sunward—gazing from a lowly seat,
Still sweetening wintry air.
 
While half—awakened Spring lags incomplete,
While lofty forest trees tower bleak and bare,
Daisies and violets own remotest heat
And bloom and make them fair.
