The Angels of the Way.

IT'S said that ever round our path
The unseen angels stray,
That give us blissful dreams by night,
And guard our steps by day.
But there's an angel in the house,
Meek, watchful and sincere,
That whispers words Of hope to us
When none beside are near;
i is the one, the chosen one,
That linked to lis for life,
The angel of the happy home,
The faithful, trusting wife.

When round our path, scarce seen by us
These bright things come and go.
Arc there not beings at our side,

AS pure as stainless as the forms
That dwell beyond the stars?

Pure, innocent, and mild,
The angels of our hearts ard homes,
