GOD BLESS THEE, BOY, by ELIZA COOK Poet's Biography First Line: The mother sending forth her child Last Line: "god bless thee, boy!--good-by!" Subject(s): Mothers | |||
THE mother sending forth her child To meet with cares and strife, Breathes through her tears her doubts and fears For the loved one's future life. No cold "adieu," no "farewell" lives Within her choking sighs; But the deepest sob of anguish gives, "God bless thee, boy!--good-by!" | 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 |
