MINNIE and Winnie Slept in a shell. Sleep, little ladies! And they slept well. Pink was the shell within, Silver without; Sounds of the great sea Wander'd about. Sleep, little ladies! Wake not soon! Echo on echo Dies to the moon. Two bright stars Peep'd into the shell. 'What are they dreaming of? Who can tell?' Started a green linnet Out of the croft; Wake, little ladies! The sun is aloft! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THAT NATURE IS A HERACLITEAN FIRE & OF THE COMFORT OF THE RESURRECTION by GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS IN FLANDERS FIELDS by JOHN MCCRAE TO MY BOOKS by CAROLINE ELIZABETH SARAH SHERIDAN NORTON THE BUBBLE by WILLIAM ALLINGHAM ALMOND BLOSSOM by EDWIN ARNOLD PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 76.
