Explore "Some, too Fragile for Winter Winds" by Emily Dickinson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.

Some, too fragile for winter winds, / The thoughtful grave encloses, -- / Tenderly tucking them in from frost / Before their feet are cold.

Never the treasures in her nest / The cautious grave exposes, / Building where schoolboy dare not look / And sportsman is not bold.

This covert have all the children / Early aged, and often cold, -- / Sparrows unnoticed by the Father; / Lambs for whom time had not a fold.
