Little Boy Blue Comments

Directed here by Kim Barney, I enjoyed this poem. So, the boy was off at his mom and ran away from home, never to set eyes again on his toys. bri ;)

Beautiful rendition of words in verse with rhythmic splendour. A wonderful creation...

Perhaps the saddest and most affecting poem ever written about the loss of a child. Anyone who would rate this classic poem poorly l pity.

Not helpful at all

I remember this poem that I memorized in the fifth grade In St.Anns School in the Bronx. I am now 83 yrs old sand can still recite it verbatim and it still brings tears to my eyes..

..................Lead Kindly Into The Night - Poem by me poet yeps poet I once composed LEAD GENTLY INTO THE NIGHT A poem for a Virgin who was always afraid of a man was married and taken away to a far off land she had none of her trusted ones at hand thus I spoke

For some reason, this poem came to me this enening as I was sitting in my recliner watching an old Western on TV. I am 74 now and I used to memorize poems when I was very young, mostly to please my father who was born in 1887. Little Boy Blue was an old poem when I was young. I had forgotten the last stanza so I decided to find it online. So glad I found it. Thank you.

Such a great poem even though it is so sad. Read it in high school and still read it fifty years later.

I love this poem and could cry every time instead it.

one Of my favourite poems definetly worth reciting

Little Boy Blue Sad , beautiful and pungent . Have it committed to memory . Age 90 still recite it

This is such a beautiful poem but so sad. Does anyone think there's like a hidden meaning in this poem?

I found this poem written down in an old ledger of my grandfather born in 1873 or so.

Thank you for resurrecting this poem.

I'm 80 and my mother used to recite this poem when I was young, I memorized it and never forgot it.

Iam 75 yrs old now and back in the 50's in 7th grade we were made to memorize this poem and recite it in front of the class.Today I can still recite this poem by memory, I never forgot it.Just something about the beauty of the poem that has stuck w/me for all these years.Amazing!
