So in this poem poet clearly mentioned that he feel special for her daughter. He wants to see his daughter happy. His wishes that she started on her knees and they played together. He can hold her soft bare. At the end of the poem he compare his daughter with syringa budd in morning . He also adds that little baby is firm and silken as young peony flower.
Conclusion :
This poem is spoken in the voice of a first person narrator. The major theme of the poem is the association of infancy with innocent and the natural world. The narrator's desire to feel the baby's feet despite its rather disconcerted sense of pedophilia married to podophilia, should be read as a desire to return to the state of nature the baby represent.
