My little son,...

Source: DRAMATISTS

My little son, who looked from thoughtful eyes
And moved and spoke in quiet grown-up wise,
Having my law the seventh time disobeyed,
I struck him, and dismissed
With hard words and unkissed,
His mother, who was patient, being dead.

-- Coventry Patmore, (Jul 23 1823-1896), English poet, critic; His works include The Angel in the House and The Unknown Eros.
