Here you will find the Poem A White Hen Sitting of poet Christina Georgina Rossetti

A White Hen Sitting

A white hen sitting 
On white eggs three: 
Next, three speckled chickens 
As plump as plump can be. 
An owl, and a hawk, 
And a bat come to see: 
But chicks beneath their mother's wing 
Squat safe as safe can be.
