Christina Georgina Rossetti - Margaret Has A Milking-Pail

2014-11-10 27

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.

Christina Georgina Rossetti
