How the littl. child angel May,
In the shade Of the grrut white portal,
Sat sorrowing night aud day:
How abe said to the watiy arien--

"Ob, angel, snr + angel, pray YOU

Oh. turn me the key, sweet angel,

But the war,lcn answered: Il dare not
LIT the beautiful gates ajarr
spoke low and answered: IL dare not

Then up rose Mary, the Bleee~d,
Sweet Mary, the Mother OF Csr1s';
Her hand on the hand of the angel
She laid, and the touch sHi'iced.
Turned wis the key IN tha portal.
Fell ringing the golden bar
And 10, in the little chlds fingers -
Stood the beautiful gates sjar!
In the little chtid-ahgefs hHgrr-
Stovd the beautiful gates aJar'
"And this key for no further using,

Now, never Snd--yed mother
But mny catch the glor, afsF;
Since safe in the Lord Chrl-t- bosom
Are the krys Of the gates ajar;
Close hid in th. dear Chri-ts bosom,
And the gates forever ajar.
