DICKEY, by MRS. WILBUR BELL First Line: I hear the sound of pattering feet Last Line: Without this boy across the street. Subject(s): Boys; Neighbors | |||
I hear the sound of pattering feet, I hear the prattling accents sweet; And so I turn again to greet The little boy across the street. I see the faltering little feet, I see the hand stretched out to meet The arms I offer, to entreat The little boy across the street. Ah! somehow in this still retreat With all the season's joys replete, Life surely could not be complete Without this boy across the street. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BRIGHT SUN AFTER HEAVY SNOW by JANE KENYON THE MAN INTO WHOSE YARD YOU SHOULD NOT HIT YOUR BALL by THOMAS LUX PLASTIC BEATITUDE by LAURE-ANNE BOSSELAAR BESIDE MILL RIVER by MADELINE DEFREES HELSINKI, 1940 by ANSELM HOLLO THE POET'S TREE by CLARENCE MAJOR |
