SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 92 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: O SAILOR, COME ASHORE
Last Line: IN THE STORMY SEA.
Subject(s): CORAL;
O sailor, come ashore,
What have you brought for me?
Red coral, white coral,
Coral from the sea.

I did not dig it from the ground,
Nor pluck it from a tree;
Feeble insects made it
In the stormy sea.
