THE LITTLE THINGS, by ELIZABETH ISLER First Line: Men cannot guess the things they do Last Line: That burn unnoticed, quietly. Subject(s): Men | |||
Men cannot guess the things they do To make a woman feel secure And loved. The merest well-timed smile Can stir her heart and leave it sure. A man may slave to prove his faith And never dream, that has not meant So much to her at watching him Just smoke a pipe at home, content. The loud, protective ways of men Are there for all the world to see But women warm their hearts as fires That burn unnoticed, quietly. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LIE DOWN WITH A MAN by TONY HOAGLAND WHY ARE YOUNG MEN SO UGLY by TONY HOAGLAND SONG OF MEN by EDGAR LEE MASTERS FIRST LESSON by PHYLLIS MCGINLEY THE STIRRUP-CUP by LOUIS UNTERMEYER MERCILES BEAUTE; A TRIPLE ROUNDEL: 1.
