Ha ha, the author says of "The Blessed Damozel" "...a poem whose impact was out of all proportion to its merit."

Sweet hands, sweet hair, sweet cheeks, sweet eyes, sweet mouth,
Each singly wooed and won
Yet most with the sweet soul
Shall love's espousals then be knit;
What time the governing cloud sheds peace from it
O'er tremulous wings that touch the goal,

Beat like a heart among the leaves
O heart that never beats nor heaves,
In that one darkness lying still,
What now to thee my love's great will
Or the fine web the sunshine weaves?
For now doth daylight disavow

This wide world holds; O love, my world is you
Howbeit, to meet you grows almost a pang
Because the pang of parting comes so soon;
My hope hangs waning, waxing, like a moon
Between the heavenly days on which we meet:

Joy, beauty, lie beyond my scope;
I strain my heart, I stretch my hands,

And as in the dim grove,
When the rains cease that hushed them long,
'Mid glistening boughs the song-birds wake to song,--
So from our hearts deep-shrined in love,
While the leaves throb beneath, around, above,

Not the prayers which with all leave
The world's fluent woes prefer,--
Not the praise the world doth give,
Dulcet fulsome whisperer;--
Let it yield my love to her,
And achieve
Strength that shall not grieve or err

Content with all day brings and night will bring
Life wanes; and when love folds his wings above
Tired hope, and less we feel his conscious pulse,
Let us go fall asleep, dear friend, in peace:
A little while, and age and sorrow cease;

Wheresoe'er my dreams befall,
Both at night-watch, let it say,
And where round the sundial
The reluctant hours of day,
Heartless, hopeless of their way,
Rest and call;--
There her glance doth fall and stay

Thy kisses snatch'd 'neath the ban
Of fangs that mock them above;
Thy bells prolong'd unto knells,
Thy hope that a breath dispels,
Thy bitter forlorn farewells
And the empty echoes thereof?
Still we say as we go,--

Lo now Thy banner over me is love,
All heaven flies open to me at Thy nod:
For Thou hast lit Thy flame in me a clod,
Made me a nest for dwelling of Thy Dove
What wilt Thou call me in our home above,

Faded and all-forsaken,
I weep as I have never wept:
Oh it was summer when I slept,
It's winter now I waken
Talk what you please of future spring
And sun-warm'd sweet to-morrow:--
Stripp'd bare of hope and everything,

Who should have been a bride;
But who for joys brides hope to have
Fell sick and died
In her gay prime,
In earliest winter time
With the first glazing rime,
With the first snow-fall of crisp winter time
Till Laura dwindling

All vain hopes by night and day,
Slowly at thy summoning sign
Rise up pallid and obey
Dreams, if this is thus, were they:--
Be they thine,
And to dreamworld pine away
Yet from old time, life, not death,
Master, in thy rule is rife:

portrait of Elizabeth 'Lizzie' Siddal (herself an ) by , her husband, who she had a sometimes tempestuous relationship with, at the
exhibition in . Apparently when she died Rossetti put some poems he'd written in her grave, and then, when his friends suggested the poems were actually quite good, arranged to have them dug them again.
