Analysis of The Wind Has Such A Rainy Sound
Christina Georgina Rossetti 1830 (London) – 1894 (London)
The wind has such a rainy sound
Moaning through the town,
The sea has such a windy sound, -
Will the ships go down?
The apples in the orchard
Tumble from their tree. -
Oh will the ships go down, go down,
In the windy sea?
