STOLEN SWEETS, by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS First Line: Peking and heide, pekinese Last Line: Those two will never say. Subject(s): Children; Girls; Innocence; Childhood | ||||||||
Peking and Heide, pekinese, Came romping wild and free, With kisses moist and plentiful They wished to give to me. Their little tongues like telescopes I both could feel and see, Until they left me with a rush To go to Betty Lee. It must have been her loveliness, Or something that she ate Still clinging to her pretty cheek, Or lips so roseate. Be that, however, as it may, All stains were washed away, And what the flavors were they found Those two will never say. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN CHILDREN SELECTING BOOKS IN A LIBRARY by RANDALL JARRELL COME TO THE STONE ... by RANDALL JARRELL THE LOST WORLD by RANDALL JARRELL A SICK CHILD by RANDALL JARRELL CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS ON THE DEATH OF FRIENDS IN CHILDHOOD by DONALD JUSTICE THE POET AT SEVEN by DONALD JUSTICE A CHRISTMAS CAROL AND ANTHEM by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS |
