From "In the Bleak Midwinter:
"What can I give Him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb,
If I were a wise man
I would do my part,--
Yet what I can give Him,
Give my heart."
~Christina Rossetti

Fantastic--a Christina Rosetti quote. I never see enough of her, probably because she mostly wrote stuff for children. I remember singing a very nice song called "Love Came Down at Christmas" that the text was hers.
She actually has quite a few beautiful adult-y poems. The Everyman's Library Pocket Poets series has a nice edition of her selected (or maybe complete) poems. :)
