Cousin Kate is a poem written by Christina Rossetti, published in 1842. The poem tells the story of a woman named Cousin Kate, who was seduced and abandoned by a lord. The poem is written in the form of a ballad, with each stanza consisting of four lines of rhyming verse.
In the first stanza, Rossetti introduces the protagonist, Cousin Kate, as a simple, rural woman who is living a happy and contented life. She is described as having a "rosy cheek" and "sunny hair," and her life is described as being full of "innocence and joy."
However, in the second stanza, the lord enters the picture. He is described as being "proud and lordly," and he takes advantage of Cousin Kate's naivety and innocence, seducing her and promising to marry her.
The third stanza describes the aftermath of the lord's betrayal. Cousin Kate is left heartbroken and alone, with a "baby at her breast" and a "heavy heart" to bear. She is forced to live a life of poverty and shame, while the lord goes on to marry someone else.
The final stanza of the poem finds Cousin Kate looking back on her life, regretting the choices she made and the path she took. She laments that she was not "wise" enough to see through the lord's false promises, and she wishes that she had remained the simple, innocent woman she was before the lord came into her life.
Overall, Cousin Kate is a poignant and tragic tale of love, betrayal, and regret. Rossetti's use of rhyme and repetition helps to convey the sense of loss and despair that Cousin Kate feels, and the poem serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of being too trusting and naive.
