A Chill
Christina Rossetti
1830 to 1894
What can lambkins do
All the keen night through?
Nestle by their woolly mother,
The careful ewe.
What can nestlings do
In the nightly dew?
Sleep beneath their mother's wing
Till day breaks anew.
If in field or tree
There might only be
Such a warm soft sleeping-place
Found for me!
Christina Rossetti's A Chill
I am busy working to bring Christina Rossetti's "A Chill" to life through some unique musical arrangements and will have a full analysis of the poem here for you later.
In the meantime, I invite you to explore the poem's themes, structure, and meaning. You can also check out the home page for other musical arrangements or learn more about Christina Rossetti's life and contributions to literature.
Check back soon to experience how "A Chill" transforms when verse meets melody—a unique journey that makes poetry accessible, engaging, and profoundly moving in new ways.
