AFTER DANTE GABRIEL
ROSSETTI
A CHRISTMAS WAIL
(Not by Dante Gabriel Rossetti)
ON Christmas day I dined with Brown.
(Oh the dinner was fine to see!)
I drove to his house, right merrily down,
To a western square of London town.
(And I moan and I cry, Woe's me!)
We dined off turkey and Christmas beef:
(Oh the dinner was fine to see!)
