Poet Analysis

First Line: BROWNIE, BROWNIE, LET DOWN YOUR MILK
Last Line: NO SWEETER SCENTED THAN YOUR BREATH.
Subject(s): MILK; MILKMEN; MILKMAIDS;
BROWNIE, Brownie, let down your milk,
White as swansdown and smooth as silk,
Fresh as dew and pure as snow:
For I know where the cowslips blow,
And you shall have a cowslip wreath
No sweeter scented than your breath.
