SIX WEEKS OLD, by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: He is so small, he does not know Last Line: And does not care to learn the rest. Alternate Author Name(s): Hall, Galway Subject(s): Babies; Infants | ||||||||
HE is so small, he does not know The summer sun, the winter snow; The spring that ebbs and comes again, All this is far beyond his ken. A little world he feels and sees: His mother's arms, his mother's knees; He hides his face against her breast, And does not care to learn the rest. | 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 ANIMAL CRACKERS by CHRISTOPHER DARLINGTON MORLEY |
