LITTLE THINGS, by JAMES STEPHENS Poet's Biography First Line: Little things that run and quail Last Line: Little creatures, everywhere! | ||||||||
Little things, that run, and quail, And die, in silence and despair! Little things, that fight, and fail, And fall, on sea, and earth, and air! All trapped and frightened little things, The mouse, the coney, hear our prayer! As we forgive those done to us, -- The lamb, the linnet, and the hare -- Forgive us all our trespasses, Little creatures, everywhere! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE CENTAURS by JAMES STEPHENS THE FIFTEEN ACRES by JAMES STEPHENS THE GOAT PATHS by JAMES STEPHENS |
