Dante Gabriel Rossetti - Sonnet XXI: Love Sweetness

Sweet dimness of her loosened hair's downfall br About thy face; her sweet hands round thy head br In gracious fostering union garlanded; br Her tremulous smiles; her glances' sweet recall br Of love; her murmuring sighs memorial; br Her mouth's culled sweetness by thy kisses shed br On cheeks and neck and eyelids, and so led br Back to her mouth which answers there for all:— br What sweeter than these things, except the thing br In lacking which all these would lose their sweet:— br The confident heart's still fervour: the swift beat br And soft subsidence of the spirit's wing, br Then when it feels, in cloud-girt wayfaring, br The breath of kindred plumes against its feet?br br Dante Gabriel Rossettibr br
