THE NEW TOY, by THOMAS HARDY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: She cannot leave it alone Last Line: May so be inclined to believe. Subject(s): Toys | ||||||||
SHE cannot leave it alone, The new toy; She pats it, smooths it, rights it, to show it's her own, As the other train-passengers muse on its temper and tone, Till she draws from it cries of annoy: -- She feigns to appear as if thinking it nothing so rare Or worthy of pride, to achieve This wonder a child, though with reason the rest of them there May so be inclined to believe. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SUSIE, KIKI, ANNIE: 2 by MEI-MEI BERSSENBRUGGE THE DOLLS MUSEUM IN DUBLIN by EAVAN BOLAND PLASTIC BEATITUDE by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR THE BECKETT KIT by LINDA GREGG THE DOLL BELIEVERS by CLARENCE MAJOR CHILD MARGARET by CARL SANDBURG AND THERE WAS A GREAT CALM' by THOMAS HARDY |
