I. Angelic VisitantsCharles Mackay (18141889)
O
The ministering angels sat; the world was young,
And men beheld what they behold no more;—
Ah, no! The harps of Heaven are not unstrung!
The angelic visitants may yet appear
To those who seek them! Lo! at Virtue’s side,
Its friend, its prop, its solace, and its guide,
Walks F
A visible angel. Lo! at Sorrow’s call,
H
And whispers comfort whatsoe’er befall;
While C
White-robed and pure, becomes each good man’s guest,
And makes this Earth a Heaven to all who love her best.
