Is it Well with the Child?
Christina Georgina Rossetti. 1830-1894
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.
From: Quiller-Couch, Arthur.
The Oxford Book of Verse. (1900)
