What can lambkins do <br />All the keen night through? <br />Nestle by their woolly mother <br />The careful ewe. <br /> <br /> <br />What can nestlings do <br />In the nightly dew? <br />Sleep beneath their mother's wing <br />Till day breaks anew. <br /> <br /> <br />If in a field or tree <br />There might only be <br />Such a warm soft sleeping-place <br />Found for me!<br /><br />Christina Georgina Rossetti<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-chill-2/
