To My Daughter

To My Daughter by Stephen Spender (1909-95) ' Bright clasp of her whole hand around my finger My daughter, as we walk together now. All my life I'll feel a ring invisibly Circle this bone with shining: when she is grown Far from today as her eyes are far already. ' Reprinted by permission of Faber from Collected Poems 1928-1985 Poems on the Underground 1,000 Years of Poetry in English
