TIRED TIM by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: POOR TIRED TIM! IT'S SAD FOR HIM
Last Line: POOR TIRED TIM! IT'S SAD FOR HIM.
Subject(s): WEARINESS; FATIGUE;

Poor tired Tim! It's sad for him.
He lags the long bright morning through,
Ever so tired of nothing to do;
He moons and mopes the livelong day,
Nothing to think about, nothing to say;
Up to bed with his candle to creep,
Too tired to yawn; too tired to sleep:
Poor tired Tim! It's sad for him.
