Alfred H. Miles, ed. Women Poets of the Nineteenth Century. 1907.

By Poems. XII. To Christina Rossetti

Dora Greenwell (1821–1882)

  • “I have mingled my grapes and my wine.”
  • The Song of Songs

    • THOU hast filled me a golden cup

    With a drink divine that glows,

    With the bloom that is flowing up

    From the heart of the folded rose.

    The grapes in their amber glow,

    And the strength of the blood-red wine

    All mingle and change and flow

    In this golden cup of thine.

    With the scent of the curling wine

    With the balm of the rose’s breath,—

    For the voice of love is thine,

    And thine is the Song of Death!
