Great Regulars: Christina Rossetti (1830-1894), sister to poet

and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti, lived in Victorian London and wrote that now famous poem, "Goblin Market," which contains sexual imagery and was not meant for children.

But she also wrote poems of a more innocent nature, such as "What Does the Bee Do?"

What does the bee do?
