WHO IS IT SEEKS MY PILLOW NIGHTS?, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
Last Line: The phosphorus of god
Subject(s): Children; Night


Who is it seeks my pillow nights?
With plain inspecting face,
"Did you, or did you not?" to ask,
'Tis Conscience, childhood's nurse.

With martial hand she strokes the hair
Upon my wincing head,
"All rogues shall have their part in" --
What --
The Phosphorus of God.
