Love this poem. I did a report in Middle School,50 years ago, on John Greenleaf Whittier and the main focus was on Barefoot Boy. This poem touched my heart and I memorized it. It is a very heart-warming verse that shows the beauty of children and their wonderful God given nature and innocence. Please read and let your children love nature and the Lord.
