The Child Is Father To The Man
'The child is father to the man.
'
How can he be? The words are wild.
Suck any sense from that who can:
'The child is father to the man.
'
No; what the poet did write ran,
'The man is father to the child.
'
'The child is father to the man!'
How can he be? The words are wild.
