too fragile for winter winds

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

(Emily Dickinson (1830–86).
Complete Poems. 1924. Part Four: Time and Eternity)

Brr, it's cold outside. Today I got out the wool coat for the first time this year. It snowed lightly several times yesterday, and now I think winter is ready to get serious.
