Poems by Christina Georgina Rossetti is the author's own collected edition, revised and enlarged in 1876 for her American publishers and reprinted in Boston in 1906. It contains the contents of her two earlier volumes, Goblin Market and Other Poems and The Prince's Progress and Other Poems, together with A Pageant and Other Poems, each with its group of devotional pieces. Here are the narrative of the two sisters and the goblin fruit, Remember, Up-Hill, A Birthday, Winter: My Secret, the sonnet sequence Monna Innominata and many of the religious lyrics that filled her later years. Rossetti writes in plain words and exact meters about longing, renunciation and death. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first poems are free.
