CALLING THE ANGELS IN.

We mean to do it. Some day, some day,
We mean to slacken this feve,ed rush
That is wearinsaIr very souls away;
And grant to cur loaded hearts hush
That Is only enough TO let them hear
The footsteps Of angels u awing near
We mean to do it. Oh, never doubt,
When the burden of daytime broil rs DER,
Wen sit and muse while the stars come ont,
As the patriarchs sat at TIE open door
Of their tents, with u heavenward- gazing
eye,
TO watch for the angels passing by.
We've SEEN them afar at high noontide,
When iielrcly the worlds hot flashing beat;
Yet never have hidden them turn aside,
And tarry awhile in converse sweet,
Nor PRAYED them to hallow the cheer We
spread,
70 drink of our wine and break our bread.
We promise our hearts that when the stress
OF the lifc-work reaches the lou@ed for
close,
When the weight that we groan with, binders
less,
Wen loosen our thoughts TO such repose
As banishes cares disturbing din,
And then-well call the angels in.
The day that we dreamed of comes at length,
When, tired Of every knocking quest,
And broken in spirit and shoin of strength,
We drop, indeed, at the door of rest,
And wait and watch as the day waucs Oh
But the angels we meant to Gail are gone!
