David Herbert Lawrence was a playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter. He was a visionary thinker and he in true sense represent modernism in English literature.
In the first line the poet talked about 'the barefoot' of baby. Who runs across the grass. He then tells about her little white feet, nod like the flowers nod in wind. He beautifully had described, how a baby child runs across the grass out of innocence to watch baby running across field is the most beautiful sight. D.H. Lawrence brilliantly and beautifully has captured the beauty of little baby's play in his poem.
The poet has compared baby's two feet with two white butterflies. Like two white butterflies settle in the cup of one flowers baby's barefoot set in the grass. The poet has compared the grass with cup of flower and two white feet with butterflies. Baby's white feet also does not stop at one place like white butterflies. It runs away from one place to another like white butterflies fly away with flutter of wings.
The poet wants baby to wonder around him like, wind shadow wander over the water. He wants to enjoy the innocence of little baby. It also happens sometimes that, some of us do not enjoy childhood like, other and we see such little babies playing around, we see our innocence in them more than the babies. We enjoy their play as it not only smoothen our eyes but it also smoothen our soul. Then the poet wants the baby stand on his knees. Then the poet compares her little barefoot with 'syringa buds' and pink 'peony flowers'. Baby's feet is like syringa buds and firm and silken like ' pink young peony flowers'.
Thus, in this poem described not only beauty of the baby but her child like innocence.
