The insidious spectre of loneliness
Wreathes about the room.
Stealthily wraps around my head
And creeps into my consciousness.
It watches, while the sunbeams play
And haunts the evening gloom.
It steps beside my waking thoughts
And coils around my bed.
It proves itself in faithfulness,
And, with cold embrace enfolds my day.
Something to cheer you up Respected Ms Sweetwater
The Rainbow
~Christina Rossetti
Boats sail on the rivers,
And ships sail on the seas;
But clouds that sail across the sky
Are prettier than these.
There are bridges on the rivers,
As pretty as you please;
But the bow that bridges heaven,
And overtops the trees,
And builds a road from earth to sky,
Is prettier far than these.
