NANCY'S LAMB, by ELEANOR GLENN WALLIS
First Line: Will-o'-wisp and fox-fire burn
Last Line: And unwise.
Subject(s): Lambs
First Line: Will-o'-wisp and fox-fire burn
Last Line: And unwise.
Subject(s): Lambs
Will-o'-wisp and fox-fire burn --
Wickless, clear --
Candles in the marshy fern
Round his bier.
With the nightshade's bitter cherry
He was fed
Who on frolic hooves made merry
And is dead.
Bramble flower shall whiten early
Where he lies ...
Blowing for a lamb so curly
And unwise.
