Christina Georgina Rossetti 183094Twist Me a Crown
RossetCGT
That I may fly away
To hear the singers at their song,
And players at their play.
But whither would you go?
Beyond the surging of the sea
And the storms that blow.
Can never make you fly:
I twist them in a crown to-day,
And to-night they die.
