Christina Georgina Rossetti (Кристина Джорджина Россетти)

* * *

What does the donkey bray about?
What does the pig grunt through his snout?
What does the goose mean by a hiss?
Oh, Nurse, if you can tell me this,
I'll give you such a kiss.
The cockatoo calls ‘cockatoo,’
The magpie chatters ‘how d'ye do?’
The jackdaw bids me ‘go away,’
Cuckoo cries ‘cuckoo’ half the day:
What do the others say? 

1. The Lambs of Grasmere, 1860
2. A Peal of Bells
3. Fata Morgana
4. An Apple Gathering
5. Maude Clare
