To a Little Invisible Being Who is Expected Soon to Become Visible
This poem is about a baby that will be born soon. The baby is being described as having limitless potential _ "what powers llie folded in thy curious frame,"
the poet is eager and anxiously awaiting the arrival - "burst thy prision doors," haste, infante bud of being, haste to blow" "Favoring spells to speed thee on thy way"
From Eighteen Hundred and Eleven, A Poem
This poem was written at a time of war with France and is told in a very negative tone. There is mention of nature however as being something to look forward to in such dark times.
