Explore "Mother Country" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Oh what is that country / And where can it be, / Not mine own country, / But dearer far to me? / Yet mine own country, / If I one day may see / Its spices and cedars, / Its gold and ivory.
As I lie dreaming / It rises, that land; / There rises before me / Its green golden strand, / With the bowing cedars / And the shining sand; / It sparkles and flashes / Like a shaken brand.
