The Angel Watcher.
We find the following beautiful poem floating about 1t
YES especial attention:
A daughter watched at midnight
Her dying mothers bed
For five long nights she had not slept,
And many tears were shed.
A vision like angel came,
Which none but her might see;
''Sleep, duteous child - the angel said,
''And l will watch for thee1
Sweet slumber like blessing fell
Upon the daughters face
The angel smiled, and touched her not,
But gently took her place
All, oh! so full of human love,
Those plying eyes did shine,
The Angel guest half mortal seemed
The slumberer, half divine
Like rays of light, the sleepers locks
In warm loose curls were thrown
Like rays of light, the angels hair
Seemed like the sleeper's
A rose-like shadow the cheek,
Dissolving into Pearl
A something in the angels face,
Seemed SISTER to the girl
The mortal and immortal, each
Rejecting each, were seen;
The earthly and the spiritual,
With earths pale face between.
Oh, human love, what strength like thine =?
From thee those prayers arise,
Which, entering into Paradise,
Drew angels from the skies!
The dawn looked through the easement cold,
A wintry dawn of gloom,
And sadder showed the curtaincd bed
The still and sickly
My daughter! art thou there, my child?
0, haste thee, love, come nigh,
That may more thy face,
And bless thee ere die.
'fIf ever were harsh to thee,
Forgive me now she cried;
Good knows my heart love thee most
When most seemed to chide;
Now bend and kiss thy mothers lips,
And for her spirit pray
The angel kissed her-and her soul
Passed peacefully away!
A sudden start what dream, what sound,
The slumbering girl alarms?
She wakes-she sees her mother dead
Within the angels arms
She wakes-she springs with wild embrace
But nothing there appears,
Except her mothers sweet, dead face
Her own conYulsve tears
