Anne Bradstreet compares her children to "olive plants". This comparison is found in Psalm 128, which is a psalm of blessing. In this psalm, the psalmist compares a family with many children to a fruitful olive tree. Bradstreet likely chose this comparison because it emphasized the importance of children in the family and the blessing they bring.
