SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 102 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE DEAR OLD WOMAN IN THE LANE
Last Line: AND WHEEL HER CHAIR ROUND, IF WE MAY.
Subject(s): OLD AGE; WOMEN;

THE dear old woman in the lane
Is sick and sore with pains and aches,
We'll go to her this afternoon,
And take her tea and eggs and cakes.

We'll stop to make the kettle boil,
And brew some tea, and set the tray,
And poach an egg, and toast a cake,
And wheel her chair round, if we may.
