Ding A Ding

by Christina Rossetti

Christina Rossetti

'Ding a ding,'
The sweet bells sing,
And say:
'Come, all be gay'
For a wedding day.
'Dong a dong,'
The bells sigh long,
And call:
'Weep one, weep all'
For a funeral.

    I stood upon a highway
    by Stephen Crane
    I stood upon a highway, And, behold, there came Many strange peddlers. To me each one made gestures, Holding forth little images, saying, "This is my pattern of God. Now this is the God I prefer."
