141 <br /> <br />Some, too fragile for winter winds <br />The thoughtful grave encloses— <br />Tenderly tucking them in from frost <br />Before their feet are cold. <br /> <br />Never the treasures in her nest <br />The cautious grave exposes, <br />Building where schoolboy dare not look, <br />And sportsman is not bold. <br /> <br />This covert have all the children <br />Early aged, and often cold, <br />Sparrow, unnoticed by the Father— <br />Lambs for whom time had not a fold.<br /><br />Emily Dickinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/some-too-fragile-for-winter-winds/
