to really convey childhood through these poems, and all aspects of childhood, we had to address the loss of innocence and the passage into the next phase of life, so, innocence and experience.The Charles Causley poem is about this boy standing on the key, talking to the sailor, offering him a silver penny and an apricot tree.
Natalie Merchant: And the sailor never comes back because a war breaks out. And the boy waits and waits.
