Backward, turn backward, O time, in your flight; Make me a child again, just for tonight! Mother, come back from that echoless shore; Take me again in your heart as of yore - Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care, Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair, Over my slumbers your loving watch keep - Rock me A very appealing poem and a beautiful ode to the loving mother. Thank you poet for sharing the poem. Subhas

Hello time,can you hear me?. Give me back my childhood I pray thee.
I love this poem. There is also an answer to this poem, does anyone know what itis.
This is absolutely beautiful! It perfectly sums up how I sometimes feel, and how wonderful it would be to be a child again, resting in my mother's arms.
