Analysis of There Is One That Has A Head Without An Eye
Christina Georgina Rossetti 1830 (London) – 1894 (London)
There is one that has a head without an eye,
And there's one that has an eye without a head:
You may find the answer if you try;
And when all is said,
Half the answer hangs upon a thread!
