Some, Too Fragile For Winter Winds,

Topics: classic

Some, too fragile for winter winds,     The thoughtful grave encloses, --     Tenderly tucking them in from frost     Before their feet are cold.     Never the treasures in her nest     The cautious grave exposes,     Building where schoolboy dare not look     And sportsman is not bold.     This covert have all the children     Early aged, and often cold, --     Sparrows unnoticed by the Father;     Lambs for whom time had not a fold.
