'Why were you born when the snow was falling?
You should have come to the cuckoo’s calling,
Or when grapes are green in the cluster,
Or, at least, when lithe swallows muster
For their far off flying
From summer dying.'
-Christina Rossetti

‘Bread and milk for breakfast,
And woollen frocks to wear,
And a crumb for robin redbreast,
On the cold days of the year.’

Il dolore allorché
è profondo e vero
è un peso che non si sgrava
mai dal cuore.
