The Blessed Damozel

The Blessed Damozel

"The Blessed Damozel" is the most well known poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti which was first published in 1850 in The Germ. Rossetti subsequently revised the poem twice and republished it in 1856 and 1870.

The poem describes the 'Damozel' observing her lover from heaven, his death and their reunion in heaven.

Claude Debussy composed a setting of Rossetti's poem: "La demoiselle élue" (1888), a cantata for two soloists, female choir, and orchestra.
