Explore "Amen" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
It is over. What is over? / Nay, how much is over truly! -- / Harvest days we toiled to sow for; / Now the sheaves are gathered newly, / Now the wheat is garnered duly.
It is finished. What is finished? / Much is finished known or unknown: / Lives are finished; time diminished; / Was the fallow field left unsown? / Will these buds be always unblown?
It suffices. What suffices? / All suffices reckoned rightly: / Spring shall bloom where now the ice is, / Roses make the bramble sightly, / And the quickening sun shine brightly, / And the latter wind blow lightly, / And my garden teem with spices.
