This morning my mother(92) told me she remembered part
of this poem as she was waking up this morning. Her
comment to me was memories are a wonderful thing.

I remember loving this poem in grade school, St. Timothy. Now as an adult
it is the one poem that literally haunts me with it's beauty, a father's
love for his three daughters. Depending on my emotions, this poem has the
power to make me smile or bring me to tears. It's my favorite!

I'm dismayed that I came here and found that whoever posted this well-known
poem did not bother to PROOFREAD it. And I'm the 10th person to comment
and no one noticed?
The fourth line, folks? Here it reads:
"That is know as the children's hour. "
The line is:
That is KNOWN as the children's hour."
I stopped there, hope that was it. Impressive that the site uses
"paraphrasis" but I'd suggest it is more helpful, and respectful to get
the words right to start with.
It's careless and doesn't show respect. If you're going to post someone's
work on the net - or quote it, or cite it, or use it - learn to proofread.
What a shame.

As a little boy I remember me mother reciting this to me while tucking me
in bed. Recently she passed and it was read by my brother at the service. I
had forgotten all about it until I heard it again. It brought much comfort
to me and many wonderful memories of my mother. Truly a timeless classic
inspiration poem.

A wonderful teacher "Ruth Funnell from Norfolk Va. read this and many other
poems and stories one hour each day. I memorized this one, "The Village
Blacksmith" The Arrow" and The Day is Done" Now, as a Granddad, I know the
meaning of this wonderful poem, and the depth of feeling for Family and
Life give us by HWL> I never tire of reading and reciting the poems which
they ask for over and over again. Van

I think that this poem is a enspiring poem because it teaches you to care
for your loved ones and love them forever and a day. I teach you love

I was just looking up some poets and ran up on this poem. I remember my
third grade teacher Mrs. Outland who had us to learn this poem and to
recite it with feeling. Thanks Mrs. Outland for everything.

I think that this poem should be remembered by the way he veiws the time
with the children and the way he says that he is in a kingdom and he is
going to lock them in the dungean to keep the children with him forever.
