POEMS BY CHRISTINA ROSSETTI
LAMBKINS
On the grassy banks
Lambkins at their pranks;
Woolly sisters, woolly brothers,
Jumping off their feet,
While their woolly mothers
Watch by them and bleat.
FERRY ME ACROSS THE WATER
"Ferry me across the water,
Do, boatman, do."
"If you've a penny in your purse,
I'll ferry you."
"I have a penny in my purse,
And my eyes are blue;
So ferry me across the water,
Do, boatman, do."
"Step into my ferry-boat,
Be they black or blue,
And for the penny in your purse
I'll ferry you."
