Analysis of O Wind, Where Have You Been
Christina Georgina Rossetti 1830 (London) – 1894 (London)
O wind, where have you been,
That you blow so sweet?
Among the violets
Which blossom at your feet.
The honeysuckle waits
For Summer and for heat.
But violets in the chilly Spring
Make the turf so sweet.
