So at the risk of sounding poetically prudish, which we might as well be for the duration of this semester, here's a recording of our now-tired carol of the Midwinter, from BBN online.
Listen to the last line of the poem and compare it to the original we learnt in class. Sure, everyone messes up on it, turning Rossetti's declaration in the indicative into an interrogative. But how fast do you think Rossetti is spinning as they mangle it?
PS: compare the other carol with this.
