SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 112 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE PEACH TREE ON THE SOUTHERN WALL
Last Line: FOR GRANDMAMMA WITH HER TEA.
Subject(s): FRUIT; PEACHES;

THE peach tree on the southern wall
Has basked so long beneath the sun,
Her score of peaches great and small
Bloom rosy, every one.

A peach for brothers, one for each,
A peach for you and a peach for me;
But the biggest, rosiest, downiest peach
For Grandmamma with her tea.
