SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY, by JOHN B. COOK First Line: My little daughter who is patient,being blind Last Line: For I have only eyes, and she has -- faith in god. Subject(s): Daughters | ||||||||
My little daughter who is patient, being blind, Most dearly loves to walk, her hand in mine, Across the fields and through the woods of Spring, Where every flower blows and every wood-thrush sings It seems, for her alone. And this I know is sure -- That each small blossom is more known to her Than ever it will be to me, poor clod, For I have only eyes, and she has -- faith in God. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AFTER READING MICKEY IN THE NIGHT KITCHEN FOR THE THIRD TIME by RITA DOVE FOR MY DAUGHTER by DAVID IGNATOW SUNLIGHT: A SEQUENCE FOR MY DAUGHTER, SELECTION by DAVID IGNATOW AMUSING OUR DAUGHTERS by CAROLYN KIZER FOR MY DAUGHTER WHEN SHE CAN READ by THOMAS LUX DOMESDAY BOOK: MRS.
