A Chill Poem by Christina Georgina Rossetti

A Chill

Rating: 2.8


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 a field or tree
There might only be
Such a warm soft sleeping-place
Found for me!

Nature has provided warm and comfortable places for sleep to lambkins and nestlings and the desire for getting such a place is in itself superb. A well deserved classic poem of the Day.
