SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 77 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: MINNIE BAKES OATEN CAKES
Last Line: SAYS SHE.

MINNIE bakes oaten cakes,
Minnie brews ale,
All because her Johnny's coming
Home from sea.
And she glows like a rose,
Who was so pale,
And 'Are you sure the church clock goes?'
Says she.
