I am called Chyldhood, in play is all my mynde, To cast a coyte, a cokstele, and a ball. A toppe can I set, and dryve it in his kynde. But would to god these hatefull bookes all, Were in a fyre brent to pouder small. Than myght I lede my lyfe alwayes in play: Whiche lyfe god sende me to myne endyng day. | 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 |
