#December 29, 1894
#OTD Christina Georgina Rossetti, #English #Poet, died.
She wrote #Romantic, #Devotional, & #Children's #Poems, including this #Snippet:
If #Stars dropped out of #Heaven,
& if #Flowers took their #Place,
The #Sky would still look very #Fair,
And fair would #Shine #Earth's face.
Winged #Angels might fly down to us
To #Pluck the little stars,
But we could only #Long for flowers
Beyond the #Cloudy bars.
