Explore "After Communion" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Why should I call Thee Lord, Who art my God? / Why should I call Thee Friend, Who art my Love? / Or King, Who art my very Spouse above? / Or call Thy Sceptre on my heart Thy rod? / Lo, now Thy banner over me is love, / All heaven flies open to me at Thy nod: / For Thou hast lit Thy flame in me a clod, / Made me a nest for dwelling of Thy Dove. / What wilt Thou call me in our home above, / Who now hast called me friend? how will it be / When Thou for good wine settest forth the best? / Now Thou dost bid me come and sup with Thee, / Now Thou dost make me lean upon Thy breast: / How will it be with me in time of love?
