Explore "Later Life: a Double Sonnet of Sonnets" by Christina Georgina Rossetti on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Before the mountains were brought forth, before / Earth and the world were made, then God was God: / And God will still be God, when flames shall roar / Round earth and heaven dissolving at His nod: / And this God is our God, even while His rod / Of righteous wrath falls on us smiting sore: / And this God is our God for evermore / Through life, through death, while clod returns to clod. / For though He slay us we will trust in Him; / We will flock home to Him by divers ways: / Yea, though He slay us we will vaunt His praise, / Serving and loving with the Cherubim, / Watching and loving with the Seraphim, / Our very selves His praise through endless days.
