THE PITY OF THE ANGELS.

 

("Un Ange vit un jour.")
     {LA PITIÉ SUPREME VIII., 1881.}

When an angel of kindness
       Saw, doomed to the dark,
     Men framed in his likeness,
       He sought for a spark—
     Stray gem of God's glory
           That shines so serene—
       And, falling like lark,
     To brighten our story,
           Pure Pity was seen.
