by Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)
Unmindful of the roses
Language: English
Unmindful of the roses, Unmindful of the thorn, A reaper tired reposes Among his gathered corn: So might I, till the morn! Cold as the cold Decembers, Past as the days that set, While only one remembers And all the rest forget, -- But one remembers yet.
