Minnie and Winnie
Lord Alfred Tennyson
Minnie and Winnie
Slept in a shell
Sleep, little ladies
And they slept well
Pink was the shell within
Silver without
Sounds of the great sea
Wandered about
Sleep, little ladies
Wake not soon
Echo on echo
Dies to the moon
Startled a green linnet
Out of the croft
Wake, little ladies
The sun is aloft
Minnie and Winnie
Slept in a shell
Sleep, little ladies
And they slept well
Pink was the shell within
Silver without
Sounds of the great sea
Wandered about
Sleep, little ladies
Wake not soon
Echo on echo
Dies to the moon
Startled a green linnet
Out of the croft
Wake, little ladies
The sun is aloft
Wake, little ladies
The sun is aloft
