Christina Georgina Rossetti - Minnie And Mattie
Work rating: Low

Minnie and Mattie 
And fat little May, 
Out in the country, 
Spending a day. 
Such a bright day, 
With the sun glowing, 
And the trees half in leaf, 
And the grass growing. 
Pinky white pigling 
Squeals through his snout, 
Woolly white lambkin 
Frisks all about. 
Cluck! cluck! the nursing hen 
Summons her folk, - 
Ducklings all downy soft 
Yellow as yolk. 
Cluck! cluck! the mother hen 
Summons her chickens 
To peck the dainty bits 
Found in her pickings. 
Minnie and Mattie 
And May carry posies, 
Half of sweet violets, 
Half of primroses. 
Give the sun time enough, 
Glowing and glowing, 
He`ll rouse the roses 
And bring them blowing. 
Don`t wait for roses 
Losing to-day, 
O Minnie, Mattie, 
And wise little May. 
Violets and primroses 
Blossom to-day 
For Minnie and Mattie 
And fat little May.
