LITTLE MAN! LITTLE MAN! COME TO ME NOW, by ANONYMOUS Last Line: That only a mother can know Subject(s): Mothers | ||||||||
LITTLE MAN! Little Man! come to me now! Come, let me hold you tight! I will fold you away in the nest of my heart, Far from all harm to-night-- Deep in my heart is a garden Of lilies of love, and they glow In the light, blooming into an Eden That only a mother can know. Little Man! Little Man! close your dear eyes; I'll sing you off to sleep, While mystical elfins of babyhood dreams Hover about you, and creep Ever so lightly to lead you Into the realm where love Dimples your pathway with kisses As pure as the dew from above. Little Man! Little Man! now you are safe, Forever safe on my breast, Your heart in my heart is embedded, And night croons a song of rest, Rest while the beautiful lilies Of love guard your slumber and glow In the light of an earthly Eden That only a mother can know. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY MOTHER'S HANDS by ANDREW HUDGINS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS IN THE 25TH YEAR OF MY MOTHER'S DEATH by JUDY JORDAN THE PAIDLIN' WEAN by ALEXANDER ANDERSON BLASTING FROM HEAVEN by PHILIP LEVINE TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
