LIMERICK by EDWARD LEAR

Poet Analysis

First Line: THERE WAS A YOUNG LADY IN WHITE
Last Line: AND OPPRESSED THAT YOUNG LADY IN WHITE.

There was a Young Lady in White
Who looked out at the depths of the Night;
But the birds of the air
Filled her heart with despair,
And oppressed that Young Lady in White.
