Explore "Brandons Both" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Oh fair Milly Brandon, a young maid, a fair maid! / All her curls are yellow and her eyes are blue, / And her cheeks were rosy red till a secret care made / Hollow whiteness of their brightness as a care will do.
Still she tends her flowers, but not as in the old days, / Still she sings her songs, but not the songs of old: / If now it be high Summer her days seem brief and cold days, / If now it be high Summer her nights are long and cold.
