NECESSARY LINKING OF GOOD WITH GOD.

One Angel brings another, one good Thought
Another! as when in the Spring we see
One flower we know that all the rest will be
Soon there in sweetest fellowship, as brought
Forth by one breath of Love, and as is wrought
The Beauty of the Spring by these, so we
Feel all of Heaven drawing silently
Around us, when our Souls a ray have caught
Of one high Fancy: like a smile sent down
From Angel's Face, soft in the Ether clear
Melting away, 'twixt two white cloudlets shown:
So distant, yet to Fancy so, so near,
That we stretch forth our hands, and lo! anon
Are floating with him thro' his own blest sphere!
