Beschreibung zu „Goblin Market, The Prince's Progress, and Other Poems“
Goblin Market, The Prince's Progress, and Other Poems is a collection of poems by Christina Georgina Rossetti. Excerpt:
"Evening by evening
Among the brookside rushes,
Laura bowed her head to hear,
Lizzie veiled her blushes:
Crouching close together
In the cooling weather,
With clasping arms and cautioning lips,
With tingling cheeks and finger tips.
'Lie close,' Laura said, 40
Pricking up her golden head:
'We must not look at goblin men,
We must not buy their fruits:
Who knows upon what soil they fed
Their hungry thirsty roots?'
'Come buy,' call the goblins
Hobbling down the glen."
