ONE OF THE LEAST OF THESE, MY LITTLE ONE', by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON 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! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A POET TO HIS BABY SON by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON BABYHOOD by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN INFANCY by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG BALLAD OF THE LAYETTE by WAYNE KOESTENBAUM A TOAST FOR LITTLE IRON MIKE by PAUL MARIANI THE PAMPERING OF LEORA by THYLIAS MOSS ONE FOR ALL NEWBORNS by THYLIAS MOSS IN THE THRIVING SEASON by LISEL MUELLER OLD BLACK MEN by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON |
