Last Line: They came at bessie's call.
Alternate Author Name(s): Ramal, Walter; De La Mare, Walter
Clapping her platter stood plump Bess,
And all across the green
Came scampering in, on wing and claw,
Chicken fat and lean: --
Dorking, Spaniard, Cochin China,
Bantams sleek and small,
Like feathers blown in a great wind,
They came at Bessie's call.
