Analysis of I Dug And Dug Amongst The Snow
Christina Georgina Rossetti 1830 (London) – 1894 (London)
I dug and dug amongst the snow,
And thought the flowers would never grow;
I dug and dug amongst the sand,
And still no green thing came to hand.
Melt, O snow! the warm winds blow
To thaw the flowers and melt the snow;
But all the winds from every land
Will rear no blossom from the sand.
