Anne Bradstreet wrote this poem to her husband in the ninth month of a pregnancy. Giving birth in that wilderness in those years was a risky business, and Bradstreet feared she wouldn't survive it, and she wrote this poem to speak to him

Everything in the natural world will be destroyed.

She starts saying there is sadness in the joy of her new child because of high mortality rate when giving birth.

No one can escape death.
