SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 98, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: I caught a little ladybird
Last Line: And cannot change to grey.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina


I CAUGHT a little ladybird
That flies far away;
I caught a little lady wife
That is both staid and gay.

Come back, my scarlet ladybird,
Back from far away;
I weary of my dolly wife,
My wife that cannot play.

She's such a senseless wooden thing
She stares the livelong day;
Her wig of gold is stiff and cold
And cannot change to grey.
