Christina Georgina Rossetti, one of the most important women poets
writing in nineteenth-century England, was born in London December 5,
1830, to Gabriele and Frances (Polidori) Rossetti. Although her
fundamentally religious temperament was closer to her mother's, this
youngest member of a remarkable family of poets, artists, and critics
inherited many of her artistic tendencies from her father.
Who Has Seen the Wind? By Christina Rossetti
Who has seen
the wind?
Neither I
nor you:
But when the
leaves hang trembling,
The wind is
passing through.
Who has seen
the wind?
Neither you
nor I:
But when the
trees bow down their heads,
The wind is
passing by.
