AN ORPHAN, by ANNETTE WYNNE First Line: Everything has sisters, brothers Last Line: Like an orphan in the sky. Subject(s): April; Children; Orphans; Childhood; Foundlings | |||
EVERYTHING has sisters, brothers, Pussy willows, stars and others; Puppy dogs and kittens, too, Have "relations"quite a few; But the moon that lives alone Has no family of her own, Has no sister and no brother, Has no aunt, and has no mother; And it lives up very high Like an orphan in the sky. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE ORPHAN BOY'S TALE by AMELIA OPIE THE MITHERLESS BAIRN by WILLIAM THOM LAURENCE BLOOMFIELD IN IRELAND: 8.
