Rossetti, Christina Georgina, 1830-1894, Hughes, Arthur, 1832-1915, ill · London : Macmillan · leaf 118
Ferry me across the water, Do, boatman, do. If you Ve a penny in your purse I 11 ferry you. 1 have a penny in my purse,And my eyes are blue ; So ferry me across the water,Do, boatman, do. Step into my ferry-boat, Be they black or blue,And for the penny in your purse I 11 ferry you. 96 … When a mounting skylark singsIn the sunlit summer morn, I know that heaven is up on high,And on earth are fields of corn. But when a nightingale singsIn the moonlit summer even, I know not if earth is merely earth,Only that heaven is heaven. 97
