The tone leaves one with a sense of regret‚ a longing to return to childhood‚ to revisit the unappreciated moments. The author seems to speak almost in a narrative‚ as if almost confessing to anyone who will listen. Thinking back to the

Speaker in poetry Christen Borgersrode I chose to write about “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden. This poem was a touching memory as the speaker looked back on how he never thanked his father for all he did on those chilly Sunday mornings.

This shows that the father worked hard
