TO CLARE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN

Poet Analysis

First Line: THOU TODDLING BABE, NONE LOOKS UPON BUT LOVES
Last Line: ON A STILL SUNNY MORNING OF WINTER WE SEE.
Subject(s): BABIES; INFANTS;
Thou toddling babe, none looks upon but loves,
And feels life brighter for looking on thee,
Thy gaze I'll remember and treasure as a charm
When cloudy days are come upon me,
Thy eyes as steady as the pretty ringdove's,
That nigh the broken hatch, agen the lonely farm,
On a still sunny morning of winter we see.
