SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 29 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: RUSHES IN A WATERY PLACE
Last Line: RIPE FRUIT TO FOLLOW.

Rushes in a watery place,
And reeds in a hollow;
A soaring skylark in the sky,
A darting swallow;
And where pale blossom used to hang
Ripe fruit to follow.
