The Blessed Damozel is perhaps the best known poem by Dante Gabriel Rossetti which was first published in 1850 in the Pre-Raphaelite journal The Germ. Rossetti subsequently revised the poem twice and republished it in 1856 1870 and 1873. Rossetti also used the same title for one of his best known paintings.The poem was partially inspired by Poe’s The Raven with its depiction of a lover grieving on Earth over the death of his loved one.
