more about Mary's Girlhood (For a Picture) I.
The Girlhood of Mary Virgin G. D. Rossetti.
Note: The title of the poem is preceded by the catalogue number (no. 368) of DGR's painting of the same name. It is followed by the asking price of the painting (80 pounds).
  • “This is that blessed Mary, pre-elect
  • God's virgin. Gone is a great while, and she
  • Dwelt thus in Nazareth of Galilee;
  • Her kin she cherished with devout respect:
  • A profound simpleness of intellect
  • Was hers, and supreme patience. From the knee
  • Faithful and hopeful; wise in charity;
  • Strong in grave peace; in duty circumspect.
  • Thus held she through her girlhood; as it were
  • 10 An angel-watered lily, that near God
  • Grows, and is quiet. Till one dawn, at home,
  • She woke in her white bed, and had no fear
  • At all,—yet wept till sunshine, and felt awed;
  • Because the fulness of the time was come.”
