Question:
"Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers,
Ere the sorrow comes with years ?"
Q. Name of the poem.
Answer:
The Cry of the Children is the name of the poem from which the above lines are given.
Explanation:
- "The Cry of the Children" was published in Blackwood's Magazine in August 1843.
- In it, Browning explores the horror of the practice of child labor. Browning was urged to write her poems after her report on this subject was published by the Royal Commission on Child Employment. She is known today for her liberal purpose in and out of her poetry. The poem was a quick hit when it was released, but today it is sometimes criticized for its sentimentality.
- The poem alternates between the voice of the narrator and the voice of the children. The narrator introduces the children and their plight, and at the same time she asks the audience and everyone around them to pay attention to what she is saying. Then the children raise their voices and express their sadness and desire to die as soon as possible. Unfortunately, they add, it's not that simple. The wheels of factories and mines keep spinning and are young, so there is a long way to go before resting. Throughout the poem, the narrator tries to understand her claim by making the reader feel guilty and claiming that they are also part of the problem.
