Explore "What's in a Name?" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Why has Spring one syllable less / Than any its fellow season? / There may be some other reason, / And I'm merely making a guess; / But surely it hoards such wealth / Of happiness, hope and health, / Sunshine and musical sound, / It may spare a foot from its name / Yet all the same / Superabound.
Soft-named Summer, / Most welcome comer, / Brings almost everything / Over which we dream or sing / Or sigh; / But then Summer wends its way, / To-morrow, -- to-day, -- / Good-bye!
