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