Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from From Queens' Gardens: Selected Poems of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Jean Ingelow, Adelaide A. Procter, Christina Rossetti and Others
Who art not missed by any that entreat. Speak to me as to Mary at Thy feet; And if no precious gums my hands bestow, Let my tears drop like amber, while I go In search of Thy divinest Voice complete In humanest affection thus, in sooth, To lose the sense of losing! As a child, Whose song-bird seeks the wood for evermore, Is sung to in its stead by Mother's mouth Till, sinking on her breast, love-reconciled, He sleeps the faster that he wept before.
