LITTLE Busch and Tommy Hays -- Small the theme, but large the praise, -- For two braver brothers, Of such toddling years and size, Bloom of face, and blue of eyes, Never trampled soldier-wise On the rights of mothers! Even boldly facing their Therapeutic father's air Of complex abstraction, But to kindle -- kindlier gaze, Wake more smiles and gracious ways -- Ay, nor find in all their days Ampler satisfaction! Hail ye, then, with chirp and cheer, All wan patients, waiting here Bitterer medications! -- Busch and Tommy, @3tone@1 us, too. -- How our life-blood leaps anew, Under loving touch of you And your ministrations! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE YOUTH OF NATURE: WORDSWORTH'S COUNTRY by MATTHEW ARNOLD HOW WE BURNED THE 'PHILADELPHIA' by BARRETT EASTMAN THE NEED OF BEING VERSED IN COUNTRY THINGS by ROBERT FROST THE THREE FISHERS by CHARLES KINGSLEY PIANO by DAVID HERBERT LAWRENCE BALLADE OF THE FOREST HAUNTERS by THEODORE FAULLAIN DE BANVILLE |
