SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 78 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: A WHITE HEN SITTING
Last Line: SQUAT SAFE AS SAFE CAN BE.
A white hen sitting
On white eggs three:
Next, three speckled chickens
As plump as plump can be.

An owl, and a hawk,
And a bat come to see:
But chicks beneath their mother's wing
Squat safe as safe can be.
