I wonder if you nice, kind people!! could provide me with any links/sources to criticisms of Tennyson's 'The Sisters'? I have been literally trawling the web for ages but cannot seem to find much reference to this poem, never mind any detail on it. (I do have the poem). Thanks for your help.

I tried to search the internet as well, but it seems it is not a very much discussed poem. No usefull info found so far. What kind of things do you need to know?

We were two daughters of one race:
She was the fairest in the face
The wind is blowing in turret and tree.
They were together, and she fell;
Therefore revenge became me well.
O the Earl was fair to see!

She died she went to burning flame:
She mix'd her ancient blood with shame.
The wind is howling in turret and tree.
Whole weeks and months, and early and late,
To win his love I lay in wait:
O the Earl was fair to see!

I made a feast; I bad him come;
I won his love, I brought him home.
The wind is roaring in turret and tree.
And after supper, on a bed,
Upon my lap he laid his head:
O the Earl was fair to see!

I kiss'd his eyelids into rest
His ruddy cheek upon my breast.
The wind is raging in turret and tree,
I hated him with the hate of hell,
But I loved his beauty passing well.
O the Earl was fair to see!

I rose up in the silent night
I made my dagger sharp and bright.
The wind is raving in turret and tree.
As half-asleep his breath he drew,
Three times I stabb'd him thro' and thro'.
O the Earl was fair to see!

I curl'd and comb'd his comely head,
He look'd so grand when he was dead.
The wind is blowing in turret and tree.
I wrapt his body in the sheet,
And laid him at his mother's feet.
O the Earl was fair to see!
