4. God permits industrious angels GOD permits industrious angels Afternoons to play. I met one,—forgot my school-mates, All, for him, straightway. God calls home the angels promptly 5 At the setting sun; I missed mine. How dreary marbles, After playing Crown!

5. I went to Heaven I WENT to heaven,— ’T was a small town, Lit with a ruby, Lathed with down. Stiller than the fields 5 At the full dew, Beautiful as pictures No man drew. People like the moth, Of mechlin, frames, 10 Duties of gossamer, And eider names. Almost contented I could be ’Mong such unique 15 Society.
