Little Boy. 4

Why talk nonsense to a child?
Asks the mother from the fire,
Listening through both back and ears,
Listening with a mother's fears:—
Already is he something wild,
Says that he can fly down stair!
I do desire
You questioning men would have a care,—
He is my child, my only one,
You'll make him try to touch the sun!’
