Analysis of A New Hymn
Katherine Mansfield 1888 (Wellington) – 1923 (Fontainebleau, Île-de-France)
Sing a song of men's pyjamas,
Half-past-six has got a pair,
And he's wearing them this evening,
And he's looking such a dear.
Sing a song of frocks with pockets
I have got one, it is so's
I can use my `nitial hankies
Every time I blow my nose.
