Chicken

Title:     Chicken
Author: Walter De la Mare [More Titles by De la Mare]

Clapping her platter stood plump Bess,
And all across the green
Came scampering in, on wing and claw,
Chicken fat and lean:
Dorking, Spaniard, Cochin China,
Bantams sleek and small,
Like feathers blown in a great wind,
They came at Bessie's call.

[The end]
Walter De la Mare's poem: Chicken
