Christina Georgina Rossetti - Hear What The Mournful Linnets Say
Work rating: Low

Hear what the mournful linnets say: 
‘We built our nest compact and warm, 
But cruel boys came round our way 
And took our summerhouse by storm. 
‘They crushed the eggs so neatly laid; 
So now we sit with drooping wing, 
And watch the ruin they have made, 
Too late to build, too sad to sing.’
