Rossetti, Christina Georgina, 1830-1894, Hughes, Arthur, 1832-1915, ill · London : Macmillan · leaf 33
I dug and dug amongst the snow, And thought the flowers would never grow ; I dug and dug amongst the sand, And still no green thing came to hand. Melt, O snow ! the warm winds blow .To thaw the flowers and melt the snow ;But all the winds from every landWill rear no blossom from the sand. ii … A city plum is not a plum ; A dumb-bell is no bell, though dumb ; A party rat is not a rat ; A sailors cat is not a cat ; A soldiers frog is not a frog ; A captains log is not a log. 12
