“Those Winter Sundays” was published in Hayden’s poetry collection A Ballad of Remembrance in 1962. It recalls a single, recurring event from the speaker’s childhood and draws from it a moving generalization about the nature of love. The poem thus demonstrates how writers can arrive at and justify conclusions by presenting even minor events in concrete detail. The poem is remarkable for its simplicity, beauty, and precision of language.
