Up-Hill

posted by admin in , , Uncategorized

Up-Hill is the title of one of the poems by Christina Rossetti. The work is presented below:

Does the road wind up-hill all the way?

 Yes, to the very end.

Will the day’s journey take the whole long day?

 From morn to night, my friend.

But is there for the night a resting place?

 A roof for when the slow dark hours begin.

May not the darkness hide it from my face?

 You cannot miss that inn.

Shall I meet other wayfarers at night?

 Those who have gone before.

Then must I knock, or call when just in sight?

 They will not keep you standing at that door.

Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak?

 Of labour you shall find the sum.

Will there be beds for me and all who seek?

 Yea, beds for all who come.
