“It was wrong to do this,” said the angel.
“You should live like a flower,
“Holding malice like a puppy,
“Waging war like a lambkin.”
“You should live like a flower,
“Holding malice like a puppy,
“Waging war like a lambkin.”
“Not so,” quoth the man
Who had no fear of spirits;
“It is only wrong for angels
“Who can live like the flowers,
“Holding malice like the puppies,
“Waging war like the lambkins.”
Who had no fear of spirits;
“It is only wrong for angels
“Who can live like the flowers,
“Holding malice like the puppies,
“Waging war like the lambkins.”
