Analysis of When The Cows Come Home The Milk Is Coming
Christina Georgina Rossetti 1830 (London) – 1894 (London)
When the cows come home the milk is coming,
Honey's made while the bees are humming;
Duck and drake on the rushy lake,
And the deer live safe in the breezy brake;
And timid, funny, brisk little bunny,
Winks his nose and sits all sunny.
