A Daughter of Eve

Another monotonous day!! I was very sleepy in the morning as I slept late last night!! :) I could not play tennis this evening because of bad weather!! In Cape Town weather changes faster than the mood of a woman!

Nothing note worthy, just one poem which I liked.

Christina Rossetti (1830–1894)

A Daughter of Eve

A fool I was to sleep at noon,

And wake when night is chilly

Beneath the comfortless cold moon;

A fool to pluck my rose too soon,

A fool to snap my lily.

My garden-plot I have not kept;
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,

No more to laugh, no more to sing,

I sit alone with sorrow.

After reading this, I feel each moment of our life is very important, time once gone, will never come back and we may repent in future for letting it lose.
