Analysis of I Caught A Little Ladybird
Christina Georgina Rossetti 1830 (London) – 1894 (London)
I caught a little ladybird
That flies far away;
I caught a little lady wife
That is both staid and gay.
Come back, my scarlet ladybird,
Back from far away;
I weary of my dolly wife,
My wife that cannot play.
