Explanation of the poem
“Baby Running Barefoot”
"When the bare feet of the baby beat across the grass
The little white feet nod like white flowers in the wind,
They poise and run like ripples lapping across the water;
And the sight of their white play among the grass
Is like a little robin’s song, winsome,
Or as two white butterflies settle in the cup of one flower
For a moment, then away with a flutter of wings.
I long for the baby to wander hither to me
Like a wind-shadow wandering over the water,
So that she can stand on my knee
With her little bare feet in my hands,
Cool like syringa buds,
Firm and silken like pink young peony flowers."
David Herbert Lawrence was
one of the prominent figures of the age. He was the person who believe in 'art
for art sake' Hus works include "sons and lovers"
The poem ’baby running bare feet is written by D h Lawrence which expresses the young child who is wandering in the garden. This poem also expresses the desire of the poet to play with the baby looking beautiful while running across the grass, the garden and the flower bets. The baby enjoying her childhood and the innocence is reflected on her face.
Natural imagery and elements are here supporting of child’s tenderness because the innocence and beauty of child’s activity are nothing but part and parcel of nature. Not only that but the poet uses personification like simile’s like
White flowers in the wind
Ripples lapping across the water
Butterfly in the cup of flower
Like A little Robinsons
Cool like suringa birds
Young peony flowers
The central theme of the poem is the innocent movement of the baby who is running on barefoot. She is enjoying her own ways and activities which is beautifully compared with the elements of the nature the poet shares his emotions and intimacy with a child who always produces some sympathy and attraction towards different activities.
In the poem baby running barefoot from the first line define the poet compare in the baby’s movement with the nature when he saying that "he feels baby’s feet as white as white flowers nodding in the wind". It is doubtless that the poet cannot resist himself pressing the baby when he says that the poise and run look like a ripples lapping across the water as well as when the poet says that the baby un winsome? Like little Robinsons.
To the poet, the baby’s feet seems like white butterfly who are settled in a cup of flower or sometimes the poet imagines baby’s feet like a wind shadow running / wondering passing over the water. The last sentence is describe the poets emotions when he is holding her little bare feet as he feels that the babys feet are like suringa birds and like pink young peony flowers.
To sum up we can say that in the world of roughness or harshness. The poet is attracted and tended to innocence and tenderness. The bareness of the modern world is implicitly disgusted by the tenderness and delicacy of child’s movement having barefoot which is time and again compared with the winsome elements of Nature.
