In “Upon the Burning of Our House,” Bradstreet explains the loss of her house is a part of God’s plan.

Which lines from the poem best convey this thought?


“Raise up thy thoughts above the sky / That dunghill mists away may fly.”

“Under thy roof no guest shall sit, / Nor at thy table eat a bit.”

“And to my God my heart did cry / To strengthen me in my distress”

“Yea, so it was, and so ‘twas just. / It was His own, it was not mine”
