SMALL THINGS, by BERENICE K. BOSS First Line: I love small things - a little bird that sings Last Line: A thimble on a sad-faced, lonely man. Subject(s): Sympathy; Empathy | |||
I love small things -- a little bird that sings; A little child with light imaginings; A little house set back against a hill, A red geranium on the window sill; The little smoke rings, curling toward the sky; The little wistful smile -- the happy sigh. Dear little things that warm my deepest heart! What's this? The sympathetic teardrops start -- A little needle in a big, strong hand; A thimble on a sad-faced, lonely man. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SYMPATHY by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON WORDS TO JOE CERAVOLO by RON PADGETT SYMPATHY (2) by PAUL LAURENCE DUNBAR SYMPATHY by HENRY DAVID THOREAU |
