Explore "In the Willow Shade" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I sat beneath a willow tree, / Where water falls and calls; / While fancies upon fancies solaced me, / Some true, and some were false.
Who set their heart upon a hope / That never comes to pass, / Droop in the end like fading heliotrope, / The sun's wan looking-glass.
