SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 36 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE SUMMER NIGHTS ARE SHORT
Last Line: TRILL OUT THEIR SONG.
Subject(s): SUMMER;

THE summer nights are short
Where northern days are long:
For hours and hours lark after lark
Trills out his song.

The summer days are short
Where southern nights are long:
Yet short the night when nightingales
Trill out their song.
