Christina Georgina Rossetti

“ To eat and drink, and wish good luck,
To do the wedding grace;
To eat and drink, and wish good luck,
To sing, and laugh, and jest:
One only neither ate nor drank,
Nor clapp'd her hands, nor bless'd. ”

“ For he's my lord for better and worse,
And him I love, Maude Clare.
"Yea, though you're taller by the head,
More wise, and much more fair;
I'll love him till he loves me best—
Me best of all, Maude Clare!" ”
