ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE, MY LITTLE ONE', by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The infant eyes look out amazed upon the frowning earth
Last Line: That loves a world all loveless, and smiles on calvary!
Alternate Author Name(s): Tremaine, John
Subject(s): Babies; Infants


The infant eyes look out amazed upon the frowning earth,
A stranger, in a land now strange, child of the mantled-birth;

Waxing, he wonders more and more; the scowling grows apace;
A world, behind its barring doors, reviles his ebon face:

Yet from this maelstrom issues forth a God-like entity,
That loves a world all loveless, and smiles on Calvary!
