Child before Fire

Poem

    By
  • A. Wilber Stevens
Article PDF

Slow my child
Into comfort drawn
The sky is bright
The morn is hell
And God is night
And none are well.

Slow my child
Into comfort drawn
The wood is black
And drink is cold
Yet feel no lack
For God is old.


BYU Studies Quarterly 01:1
