Rossetti, Christina Georgina, 1830-1894, Hughes, Arthur, 1832-1915, ill · London : Macmillan · leaf 97
If a mouse could fly, Or if a crow could swim, Or if a sprat could walk and talk,I d like to be like him. If a mouse could fly, He might fly away ;Or if a crow could swim, It might turn him grey ;Or if a sprat could walk and talk,What would he find to say ? 75 … Sing me a song— What shall I sing ?— Three merry sistersDancing in a ring, Light and fleet upon their feetAs birds upon the wing. Tell me a tale— What shall I tell ?- Two mournful sisters, And a tolling knell,Tolling ding and tolling dong, Ding dong bell.76
