ALL BENEATH THE SUN HASTETH, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI Poet Analysis Poet's Biography Last Line: All hopeful, day is nearing Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina Subject(s): Nature; Hope | ||||||||
All beneath the sun hasteth, All that hath begun wasteth; Earth-notes change in tune With the changeful moon, Which waneth While earth's chant complaineth. Plumbs the deep, Fear descending; Scales the steep, Hope ascending; Faith betwixt the twain Plies both goad and rein, Half fearing, All hopeful, day is nearing. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...HOPE IS NOT FOR THE WISE by ROBINSON JEFFERS SONNET by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON SPRING FLOODS by MAURICE BARING SONNET: 9.
