HER NAME, by ANONYMOUS First Line: "in search, from a to z, they passed" Last Line: And she's simply 'little peg' Subject(s): Babies;names; Infants | ||||||||
IN search from "A" to "Z" they passed, And "Marguerita" chose at last; But thought it sounded far more sweet To call the baby "Marguerite." When grandma saw the little pet, She called her "darling Margaret." Next Uncle Jack and Cousin Aggie Sent cup and spoon to "little Maggie." And grandpapa the right must beg To call the lassie "bonnie Meg;" (From "Marguerita" down to "Meg") And now she's simply "little Peg." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A POET TO HIS BABY SON by JAMES WELDON JOHNSON BABYHOOD by ELIZABETH AKERS ALLEN INFANCY by EDMUND JOHN ARMSTRONG BALLAD OF THE LAYETTE by WAYNE KOESTENBAUM A TOAST FOR LITTLE IRON MIKE by PAUL MARIANI THE PAMPERING OF LEORA by THYLIAS MOSS ONE FOR ALL NEWBORNS by THYLIAS MOSS IN THE THRIVING SEASON by LISEL MUELLER TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
