SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 115 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: IF STARS DROPPED OUT OF HEAVEN
Last Line: BEYOND THE CLOUDY BARS.
Subject(s): STARS;
IF stars dropped out of heaven,
And if flowers took their place,
The sky would still look very fair,
And fair earth's face.

Winged angels might fly down to us
To pluck the stars,
But we could only long for flowers
Beyond the cloudy bars.
