The fourth piece from the Scenes from Childhood, a collection of 13 pieces written by Robert Schumann about an adult looking back on his childhood. Performed by Benjamin Shapiro.

German title: 'Bittendes Kind'

Here is a poem I wrote about this piece:

4. Pleading Child
Eyes
Staring up at you
Pleading
Begging
For more
One cannot resist
Those big, round, eyes
That beg
Puppy eyes
So simple
Just one thing to make them happy
A pleading child.
