GUEST,Autoharper	Lyr Req: Little Boy Blue (Eugene Field) (41)	RE: Lyr Req: Little Boy Blue (Eugene Field)	25 Oct 12
What now seems syrupy and sentimental was quite popular 150 years ago -- a time in American History when child mortality was great and one out of four kids would lose mother or father (or both) before they left home. Unique in that he wrote poetry exclusively for children, Eugene Field (1850-1895) is remembered today as "the Child's Poet." Field was born in St. Louis, MO, and the house where he spent his childhood is now a museum. I remember committing "Little Boy Blue" to memory as a 2nd grader. Field's classic "Wynken, Blinken, and Nod" is on my "Along Came a Giant" CD. -Adam Miller Folksinging.org
