I wish I could remember.....

SONNET by Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894) excerpts

I wish I could remember that first day

First hour, 

First moment of your meeting me

If bright or dim the season, it might be Summer or Winter

For aught I can say

So unrecorded did it slip away

So blind was I to see and to forsee

If only I could recollect it, such

A day of days!

I let it come and go

As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow;

Meant so much

If only now.......

I could recall

First touch of hand in hand

Did One .......

But know!

Rossetti wrote romantic, devotional children's poems, 

plus a couple of famous Christmas carols: In the Bleak Midwinter and Love Came Down
