ক্রিস্টিনা জর্জিনা রোসেটেটি (১৮৩০-১৮৯৯) একজন ইংরেজী কবি যিনি বিভিন্ন রকমের রোমান্টিক, ভক্তিমূলক এবং শিশুদের কবিতা লিখেছিলেন। তিনি সম্ভবত তাঁর কবিতা গব্লিন মার্কেটের জন্য সবচেয়ে বেশি পরিচিত।
Boats sail on the rivers,
নৌকা পাড়ি দেয় নদী উপর,
And ships sail on the seas;
আর জাহাজ পাড়ি দেয় সমুদ্রে;
But clouds that sail across the sky
কিন্তু যে মেঘ আকাশে পাড়ি দেয়
Are prettier than these.
তা এদের চেয়ে সুন্দর।
There are bridges on the rivers,
নদীর উপর ব্রিজ আছে,
As pretty as you please;
যত সুন্দরই তুমি মনে কর;
But the bow that bridges heaven,
তবে সে ধনুক আকাশ জুড়ে,
And overtops the trees,
আর গাছগুলি ছাড়িয়ে যায়,
And builds a road from earth to sky,
এবং পৃথিবী থেকে আকাশ পর্যন্ত একটি রাস্তা তৈরি করে,
Is prettier far than these.
এগুলির থেকে অনেক বেশি সুন্দর।
