LIMERICK by EDWARD LEAR

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS A YOUNG LADY OF SWEDEN
Last Line: BUT THOUGHT SHE SHOULD GO BACK TO SWEDEN.

There was a Young Lady of Sweden,
Who went by the slow rain to Weedon;
When they cried, 'Weedon Station!' she made no observation
But thought she should go back to Sweden.
