ANOTHER GRACE FOR A CHILD by ROBERT HERRICK

Poet Analysis

First Line: HERE A LITTLE CHILD I STAND
Last Line: AMEN.
Subject(s): GRACE; HOLIDAYS; PRAYER; THANKSGIVING;

HERE a little child I stand
Heaving up my either hand;
Cold as paddocks though they be,
Here I lift them up to Thee,
For a benison to fall
On our meat and on us all.
Amen.
