I chose a book to read and dream:
Yet half the while with furtive eyes 210
Marked how she made her choice of flowers
wise,
And ranged them with instinctive taste
Which all my books had failed to teach;
Fresh rose herself, and daintier
Than blossom of the peach.
Yet half the while with furtive eyes 210
Marked how she made her choice of flowers
wise,
And ranged them with instinctive taste
Which all my books had failed to teach;
Fresh rose herself, and daintier
Than blossom of the peach.
Christina Rossetti
