Poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti

* * *

Your brother has a falcon,
Your sister has a flower;
But what is left for mannikin,
Born within a hour?
I'll nurse you on my knee, my knee,
My own little son;
I'll rock you, rock you, in my arms,
My least little one. 

1. Rosy Maiden Winifred

3. Brownie, Brownie, Let Down Your Milk
4. Once For All
5. Sweet Death
