He and She
by Christina Rossetti
Should one of us remember,
And one of us forget,
I wish I knew what each will do--
But who can tell as yet?"
Should one of us remember,
And one of us forget,
I promise you what I will do--
And I'm content to wait for you,
And not be sure as yet.
Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)
Rossetti was an English poet who came by her writing ability quite naturally. Her brothers were Dante Gabriel Rossetti--was an English poet, illustrator, painter, and translator; and William Michael Rossetti--a poet and a critic. Her sister, Maria Francesca Rossetti, was an English author, while her father, Gabriele Rossetti, was an Italian poet and scholar. Rossetti began writing at age 7 but she was 31 before her first work--Goblin Market and Other Poems (1862)--was published. You can read more about this famous poet here.
