ALAS, ALACK! by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: ANN, ANN! / COME! QUICK AS YOU CAN!
Last Line: AND SANK HIM BACK.
Ann, Ann!
Come! quick as you can!
There's a fish that @3talks@1
In the frying-pan.
Out of the fat,
As clear as glass,
He put up his mouth
And moaned 'Alas!'
Oh, most mournful,
'Alas, alack!'
Then turned to his sizzling,
And sank him back.
