SING-SONG; A NURSERY RHYME BOOK: 70, by CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTIPoet AnalysisPoet's Biography
First Line: Margaret has a milking-pail Last Line: By the leafy limes. Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina
MARGARET has a milking-pail, And she rises early; Thomas has a threshing-flail, And he's up betimes. Sometimes crossing through the grass Where the dew lies pearly, They say 'Good-morrow' as they pass By the leafy limes.
