To the Lady Crewe, Upon the Death of Her Child

8 linesSource: PoetryDB

Why, Madam, will ye longer weep,

Whenas your baby's lull'd asleep?

And, pretty child, feels now no more

Those pains it lately felt before.


All now is silent; groans are fled;

Your child lies still, yet is not dead,

But rather like a flower hid here,

To spring again another year.
