My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a water’d shoot;
My heart is like an apple-tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me.
Raise me a dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pomegranates,
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.
~ Christina Rossetti
On behalf of island6, we want to congratulate Thomas and Serena to the birth of their beautiful little girl Zoe.
Weighing a healthy 3.5kg, she already has Serena’s beauty and may she have Thomas’s… umm… humor..? :-D
We can’t wait to meet the new addition to the gallery!
Lot’s of love from sunny Shanghai.
