Explore "The Bourne" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Underneath the growing grass, / Underneath the living flowers, / Deeper than the sound of showers: / There we shall not count the hours / By the shadows as they pass.
Youth and health will be but vain, / Beauty reckoned of no worth: / There a very little girth / Can hold round what once the earth / Seemed too narrow to contain.
