Bradstreet uses vivid imagery and emotional language to convey her feelings of loss and the new finding of faith for comfort during this time of tragedy. Historically, it provides a glimpse of challenges people faced during the colonial period as the destroyed home was a common occurrence in the settlements and her poems shows the sense of loss and displacement.
