Final answer:

The supplied excerpts do not specify particular poems kept from Stuart by his parents. They revolve around themes of parental authority, slave culture, and emotional response to art rather than explicit mention of censored poems.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question implies the inquiry about specific poems Stuart's parents did not want him to hear, but the provided excerpts do not mention particular poems being kept from Stuart. They instead present various scenarios involving parents and children, the role of stories and songs in slave culture, and emotional responses to music and dance. This suggests the poems could be those that critique or undermine parental authority, expose the harsh realities of life, or possess an emotional weight that parents may deem inappropriate for their child. It's also possible that the cited texts reflect on the broader thematic concern of the suppression of uncomfortable truths.
