SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 95 by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI

Poet Analysis

First Line: BOATS SAIL ON THE RIVERS
Last Line: IS PRETTIER FAR THAN THESE.
Subject(s): CLOUDS;

BOATS sail on the rivers,
And ships sail on the seas;
But clouds that sail across the sky
Are prettier far than these.

There are bridges on the rivers,
As pretty as you please;
But the bow that bridges heaven,
And overtops the trees,
And builds a road from earth to sky,
Is prettier far than these.
