A Frog's Fate
by Christina Georgina Rossetti
English poet. Her collections of verse include Goblin Market and Other Poems (1862), The Prince's Progress and Other Poems (1866) and A Pageant and Other Poems (1881), and 'A Birthday', 'Remember', 'Uphill' and the Christmas carol 'In the Bleak Mid-Winter'. She also wrote Sing-song, a Nursery Rhyme Book (1862) for children, which was illustrated by Arthur Hughes. Rossetti's main concern was her religious poetry, and she had great lyrical gifts. She was associated with the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which included her brothers D.G. and W.M. Rossetti, Edward Burne-Jones and William Morris.
