Analysis of Heartsease In My Garden Bed
Christina Georgina Rossetti 1830 (London) – 1894 (London)
Heartsease in my garden bed,
With sweetwilliam white and red,
Honeysuckle on my wall: -
Heartsease blossoms in my heart
When sweet William comes to call,
But it withers when we part,
And the honey-trumpets fall.
