Hello,
No matter how hard I try I just can't understand a phrase from Christina Rossetti's poem titled "A Dirge". The phrase goes like this:
"Or, at least, when lithe swallows muster"
Looking at it I can see a word which appears to be a noun "lithe" (sth swallows sth). But in the dictionary the word lithe is an adjective which completely ruin my perception.
I will be very glad if someone could just paraphrase this sentece.
Thanks,
Dominik
