Christina Rossetti
Christina Rossetti foi uma poeta inglesa cujas obras exploram temas de fé, amor, morte e natureza com uma voz lírica distinta. A sua poesia é conhecida pela sua beleza imagética, musicalidade e profundidade emocional, muitas vezes tingida de melancolia e espiritualidade. Rossetti abordou frequentemente a dualidade entre o desejo terrenal e a aspiração espiritual, refletindo as suas próprias convicções religiosas.

Up-Hill
Does the road wind up-hill all the way?
Yes, to the very end.
Will the days journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend.
But is there for the night a resting-place?
A roof for when the slow dark hours begin.
May not the darkness hide it from my face?
You cannot miss that inn.
Shall I meet other wayfarers at night?
Those who have gone before.
Then must I knock, or call when ust in sight?
They will not keep you standing at that door.
Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak?
Of labor you shall find the sum.
Will there be beds for me and all who seek?
Yea, beds for all who come.
Yes, to the very end.
Will the days journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend.
But is there for the night a resting-place?
A roof for when the slow dark hours begin.
May not the darkness hide it from my face?
You cannot miss that inn.
Shall I meet other wayfarers at night?
Those who have gone before.
Then must I knock, or call when ust in sight?
They will not keep you standing at that door.
Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak?
Of labor you shall find the sum.
Will there be beds for me and all who seek?
Yea, beds for all who come.
