WriterLouisa: On my Louise Marley FB page, every Advent season I post classical music--motet, carol, solo song--that I love. Even if Christmas isn't your thing, you might enjoy them.
Here's today's, the Harold Darke setting of the exquisite Christina Rossetti poem:
gherkinrowsell: …Harold Darke, was first a poem by Christina Rossetti originally titled “A Christmas Carol”.
bethfelkerjones: Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
Cherubim and seraphim thronged the air;
But His mother only, in her maiden bliss,
Worshipped the beloved with a kiss.
--Christina Rossetti
SFFAudio: WHAT IS PINK by Christina Rossetti
aquotebot: “Kneel, wrestle, knock, do violence, pray;
Today is short, tomorrow nigh:
Why will you die? why will you die?” –Christina Rossetti
MalmesburySch: Year 8 spent ‘Malmesbury Reads’ day listening and responding to the Christina Rossetti poem, ‘Goblin Market’.
The resulting display shows an imaginative rogues gallery of grizzly goblins tempting the two sisters with their delicious fruit.
bethfelkerjones: Enough for Him, whom cherubim, worship night and day,
Breastful of milk, and a mangerful of hay;
Enough for Him, whom angels fall before,
The ox and ass and camel which adore.
--Christina Rossetti
(interesting how we don't sing the BEST VERSE)
MusicOfLee: Christina Rossetti's "Remember" is I think one of the most beautiful poems, especially regarding mourning and grief.
I have put off setting it for years because I wasn't sure I could do it justice, but I'm finally making an attempt now.
rottenmarigolds: When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.
- Christina Rossetti ”When I am dead, my dearest"
ScozzariFrank: Can anything be sadder than work left unfinished? Yes, work never begun.
—Christina Rossetti—

0liviaHouseman: Today I learned that Playboy released a ‘Goblin Market’ themed issue in the 70s. Honestly, I’m not sure whether Christina Rossetti would love or despise this information.
0liviaHouseman: “Golden head by golden head,
Like two pigeons in one nest
Folded in each other’s wings,
They lay down in their curtain’d bed:
…Cheek to cheek and breast to breast
Lock’d together in one nest.”
- Christina Rossetti
sahilbh09564471: ¨Better by far you should forget and smile than that you should remember and be sad.¨- Christina Rossetti
INVINCIBLE PRASAD JAWADE
oh_look_a_book: "For laughter there is weeping,
And waking instead of sleeping,
And a desperate sorrow
Morrow after morrow."
Christina Rossetti, A Bird's-Eye View
aquotebot: “Kneel, wrestle, knock, do violence, pray;

K12tree: "Today’s a nipping day, a biting day;
In which one wants a shawl,
A veil, a cloak, and other wraps..."
Winter: My Secret by Christina Rossetti
LewisPRoberts: "she was replete with the spirit of self-postponement"
- William Michael Rossetti, describing his sister Christina (1904)
bethfelkerjones: Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed
The Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.
--Christina Rossetti
readandcobooks: 'My Heart is Like a Singing Bird' is a fantastic collection of beautiful bird poetry by Christina Rossetti. A pocket-sized book featuring beautiful colour illustrations by John James Audubon, this volume would make a wonderful Christmas gift:
RJames88: Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember , do not grieve
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had
.. better by far you should forget and smile
.. than that you should remember and be sad
Christina Rossetti
PodCavern: In this sidetrip, you host reads L’albatros by Charles Baudelaire, Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll, Erlkönig by Goethe, and Goblin Market by Christina Rossetti. In the original languages.
bethfelkerjones: In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
Earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone;
Snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.
--Christina Rossetti
zinghope: In the bleak midwinter
Christina Rossetti
What can I give Him, poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wise Man, I would do my part;
Yet what I can I give Him: give my heart.
Newdawn0808: Yet come to me in dreams, that I may live
My very life again tho’ cold in death:
Come back to me in dreams, that I may give
Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
Speak low, lean low,
As long ago, my love, how long ago.
Echo, Christina Rossetti

Our God, Heaven cannot hold Him, nor earth sustain;
Heaven and earth shall flee away when He comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed

Eve_Castle: When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.

RDGStout: We must not look at goblin men,
We must not buy their fruits:
Who knows upon what soil they fed
Their hungry thirsty roots?
—Christina Rossetti, The Goblin Market
AndrewTRoycroft: My life is like a broken bowl,
A broken bowl that cannot hold
One drop of water for my soul
Or cordial in the searching cold;
Cast in the fire the perished thing,
Melt and remould it, till it be
A royal cup for Him my King:
O Jesus, drink of me.

(Christina Rossetti)
gardenhush: Nay, no closed doors for me,
But open doors and open hearts and glee
To welcome young and old.
Dimmest and brightest month am I;
My short days end, my lengthening days begin;
What matters more or less sun in the sky
When all is sun within?
From 'The Months', Christina Rossetti
thesilentIand: a poem by christina rossetti. made it when i was a teen and something felt so fantastical as well as sombre about the phrase "into the silent land"
oh_look_a_book: "When autumn passes then must winter numb,
And winter may not pass a weary while,
But when it passes spring shall flower again;
And in that spring who weepeth now shall smile."
Christina Rossetti, If Only
ShalnevaE: DG Rossetti had no substance, but was an ace stylist. His sister had neither substance nor style. M Shelley wrote one inventive novel, but comes nowhere near the poet of Ozymandias. Only in a lurid feminist fantasy Christina Rossetti & Mary Shelley can "challenge the male canon."

Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
