Last Line: Upon a worn-out pair of shoes!
Subject(s): Children; Childhood
My little boy is only four
And restless when the children shout,
I see his eyes, at once, alight
With longing, as they run about;
I can stride swiftly to and fro
Or sit at leisure, as I choose;
Oh, God, to think I used to frown
Upon a worn-out pair of shoes!
