XIII. “Who Is This That Cometh up?” | | By Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830–1894) |
| | October 30
WHO is this that cometh up not alone | |
| From the fiery-flying serpent wilderness | |
| Leaning upon her own Beloved One, | |
| Who is this? | |
| |
| Lo, the King of King’s daughter, a high princess, | 5 |
| Going home as bride to her Husband’s Throne, | |
| Virgin queen in perfected loveliness. | |
| |
| Her eyes a dove’s eyes and her voice a dove’s moan, | |
| She shows like a full moon for heavenliness, | |
| Eager saints and angels ask in heaven’s zone: | 10 |
| Who is this? | | | | |
