IS IT WELL WITH THE CHILD?, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Safe where I cannot die yet
Last Line: And to come back in blow.
Alternate Author Name(s): Alleyne, Ellen; Rossetti, Christina


SAFE where I cannot die yet,
Safe where I hope to lie too,
Safe from the fume and the fret;
You, and you,
Whom I never forget.
Safe from the frost and the snow,
Safe from the storm and the sun,
Safe where the seeds wait to grow
One by one,
And to come back in blow.
