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 DURING WIND AND RAIN by THOMAS HARDY |
