    Here is the poem..
    any critical ideas.....!!!!!


    No, Thank You John by Christina Rossetti
    I never said I loved you, John:
    Why will you tease me day by day,
    And wax a weariness to think upon
    With always "do" and "pray"?

    You Know I never loved you, John;
    No fault of mine made me your toast:
    Why will you haunt me with a face as wan
    As shows an hour-old ghost?

    I dare say Meg or Moll would take
    Pity upon you, if you'd ask:
    And pray don't remain single for my sake
    Who can't perform the task.

    I have no heart?-Perhaps I have not;
    But then you're mad to take offence
    That don't give you what I have not got:
    Use your common sense.

    Let bygones be bygones:
    Don't call me false, who owed not to be true:
    I'd rather answer "No" to fifty Johns
    Than answer "Yes" to you.

    Let's mar our plesant days no more,
    Song-birds of passage, days of youth:
    Catch at today, forget the days before:
    I'll wink at your untruth.

    Let us strike hands as hearty friends;
    No more, no less; and friendship's good:
    Only don't keep in veiw ulterior ends, And points not understood

    In open treaty. Rise above
    Quibbles and shuffling off and on:
    Here's friendship for you if you like; but love,-
    No, thank you, John.
