Explore "Later Life: a Double Sonnet of Sonnets" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Lifelong our stumbles, lifelong our regret, / Lifelong our efforts failing and renewed, / While lifelong is our witness, "God is good: " / Who bore with us till now, bears with us yet, / Who still remembers and will not forget, / Who gives us light and warmth and daily food; / And gracious promises half understood, / And glories half unveiled, whereon to set / Our heart of hearts and eyes of our desire; / Uplifting us to longing and to love, / Luring us upward from this world of mire, / Urging us to press on and mount above / Ourselves and all we have had experience of, / Mounting to Him in love's perpetual fire.
