Analysis and comments on The Cry Of The Children by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Comment 9 of 9, added on April 16th, 2008 at 1:38 PM. I am doing a poem study for my english class and I found this poem to be quite touching Hannah S. from United States Comment 8 of 9, added on January 13th, 2006 at 2:50 PM. I think that this is great poem and that she has opened my heart she is a true hero Jessica from United States Comment 7 of 9, added on December 9th, 2005 at 6:44 PM. Mrs. Barrett Browning was a true hero. Her writing is truth and painful all together. This is one of my favorite poems because she displayed the harm of child labor. It is sad to know that there are children in the world who probably have the same lives of the ones in the poem. Peace! Jackie from United States Comment 6 of 9, added on November 21st, 2005 at 4:53 AM. God bless the children. God bless Mrs. Browning for her courage and conviction, to put into words, what others had in their eyes. Hank from United States Comment 5 of 9, added on July 23rd, 2005 at 2:00 PM. Still unfourtunatly relevant today I think Elizabeth would have stood full square and proud with Bob Geldorf one day God willing these pople will be bourne in the same generation and nothing will stop them Barry from United Kingdom Comment 4 of 9, added on April 25th, 2005 at 9:33 PM. This poem portrays the harsh and devastating situations inflicted upon children even 5 years of age during the Victorian Era. It is truly writers like her who make a significant difference in this world. Beth from United States Comment 3 of 9, added on April 6th, 2005 at 5:33 PM.
