“THE ANGEL”
The poet sees the angel who will be
Within the eyes of woman. Mystic, bright
Within the face that man despises, he
Perceives a glory strange, an unknown light.
Within the eyes of woman. Mystic, bright
Within the face that man despises, he
Perceives a glory strange, an unknown light.
He sees the angel that, far centuries hence,
When many a path of agony is trod,
Will stand with brow superb and gaze intense
Within the golden palace-walls of God.
When many a path of agony is trod,
Will stand with brow superb and gaze intense
Within the golden palace-walls of God.
1902.
