A white hen sitting <br />On white eggs three: <br />Next, three speckled chickens <br />As plump as plump can be. <br />An owl, and a hawk, <br />And a bat come to see: <br />But chicks beneath their mother's wing <br />Squat safe as safe can be.<br /><br />Christina Georgina Rossetti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-white-hen-sitting/
