Analysis of If Stars Dropped Out Of Heaven
Christina Georgina Rossetti 1830 (London) – 1894 (London)
If stars dropped out of heaven,
And if flowers took their place,
The sky would still look very fair,
And fair earth's face.
Winged angels might fly down to us
To pluck the stars,
Be we could only long for flowers
Beyond the cloudy bars.
