Living

There is one that has a head without an eye

by Christina Rossetti 1830–1894

From Sing-Song (1872/1893)

Living

There is one that has a head without an eye,
And there’s one that has an eye without a head:
You may find the answer if you try;
And when all is said,
Half the answer hangs upon a thread!
