I first read this wonderful poem in H.S. in the early 50's. Years later it came to mind but I wasn't quite sure of the title or author. I tried many possibilities was found nothing. I tried again today (years later) and was successful. I cried as I recited it outloud to myself. Thank you, PoemHunter

'Da Leetla Boy' is another great example of T.A. Daly's work. I memorized 'Georga Da Wash' in 1948 and have never forgotten it. I would like to find a biography about Mr. Daly and to know why he wrote in the italian dialect.
