Analysis of Clever Little Willie Wee
Christina Georgina Rossetti 1830 (London) – 1894 (London)
Clever little Willie wee,
Bright-eyed, blue-eyed little fellow;
Merry little Margery
With her hair all yellow.
Little Willie in his heart
Is a sailor on the sea,
And he often cons a chart
With sister Margery.
