Little Dicky Dilver Had a wife of silver; He took a stick and broke her back And sold her to the miller; The miller wouldn't have her So he threw her in the river. |
Apparently a corruption, and abbreviation, of an earlier poem, describing the fortunes of a grain of wheat, personified as the wife of the farmer. |
