LITTLE CHILDREN, by ALICE CARY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Blessings, blessings on the beds Last Line: "suffer them to come to me." Subject(s): Children | ||||||||
BLESSINGS, blessings on the beds Whose white pillows softly bear, Rows of little shining heads That have never known a care. Pity for the heart that bleeds In the homestead desolate Where no little troubling needs Make the weary working wait. Safely, safely to the fold Bring them wheresoe'er they be, Thou, who saidst of them, of old, "Suffer them to come to me." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE THREE CHILDREN by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN CHILDREN SELECTING BOOKS IN A LIBRARY by RANDALL JARRELL COME TO THE STONE ... by RANDALL JARRELL THE LOST WORLD by RANDALL JARRELL A SICK CHILD by RANDALL JARRELL CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS ON THE DEATH OF FRIENDS IN CHILDHOOD by DONALD JUSTICE MEMORY OF A PORCH by DONALD JUSTICE A SPINSTER'S STINT by ALICE CARY |
