| Summary | "Boys and Girls" by James W. Foley is a collection of verses written in the early 20th century. The compilation is centered around the experiences, joys, and trials of childhood, expressed through the perspectives of various children. Each poem captures a different aspect of childhood adventures, emotions, and the whimsical nature of being young. At the start of the collection, the opening verses introduce readers to the carefree spirit of a little boy as he sets out to play, promising to return shortly. This charming portrayal of playtime is followed by reflections on the reciprocal nature of smiles and the innocence of youth in various domestic scenes, hinting at the dynamics of family life and the joy found in simple moments. Through the eyes of young characters, the verses explore themes of joy, friendship, adventure, and the bittersweetness of growing up, setting a nostalgic and playful tone for the rest of the collection.
