A poem by Walter De la Mare

The Dunce

________________________________________________
Title:     The Dunce
Author: Walter De la Mare [More Titles by De la Mare]

Why does he still keep ticking?
Why does his round white face
Stare at me over the books and ink,
And mock at my disgrace?
Why does that thrush call, 'Dunce, dunce, dunce!'?
Why does that bluebottle buzz?
Why does the sun so silent shine? --
And what do I care if it does?







[The end]
Walter De la Mare's poem: Dunce
