FROM ALL THE JAILS THE BOYS AND GIRLS, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: For such a foe as this 
Subject(s): Children; Play


From all the Jails the Boys and Girls
Ecstatically leap -
Beloved only Afternoon
That Prison doesn't keep

They storm the Earth and stun the Air,
A Mob of solid Bliss -
Alas - that Frowns should lie in wait
For such a Foe as this
