THREE LITTLE GIRLS, by             Poem Explanation     Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Marianne, madeline, alys


Marianne, Madeline, Alys,
Three little girls I used to see
Two months ago,
Three little girls with fathers killed
And mothers lost,
Three little girls with broken shoes
And hard, sharp coughs,
Three little girls who sold us sweets
Too near the shells,
Three little girls with names of saints
And angels' eyes,
Three little girls where are you now?
Marianne, Madeline, Alys.
