Little monitor, by thee Let me learn what I should be— Learn the round of life to fill, Useful and progressive still. Thou canst gentle hints impart How to regulate the heart. When I wind thee up at night, Mark each fault and set thee right, Let me search my bosom too, And my daily thoughts review; Nor be easy when I find Latent errors rise to view, Till all be regular and true. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A SEA SONG by ALLAN CUNNINGHAM IN MAY by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR HOW THE CUMBERLAND WENT DOWN [MARCH 8, 1862] by SILAS WEIR MITCHELL A LITTLE CHILD'S HYMN; FOR NIGHT AND MORNING by FRANCIS TURNER PALGRAVE SOUTH WIND by SIEGFRIED SASSOON SONGS OF TRAVEL: 16 by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON CRADLE SONG (TO A TUNE OF BLAKE'S): 1 by ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE |
