"Shut In"

''Shut in" All, WELL my body lies
Confined and pent these walls between,
The while my happy spirit flies,
AS free as wavelet's dancing sheen.
Three angels softly press the key
That holds my soul in somber thrall.
Then lightly float and whisper me,
Gods mercy and his love for all.
With one the Angel of the Past, ~
l tread the paths of childhoodS days
I laugh and shout and lightly cast
All care aside for childish plays
I wander through fair orchard aisles,
/ pluck the fruitage, red and gold,
Heap boards of nuts in fragrant piles,
And golden hours rich blessings hold.
The Present Angel comes to me,
A wondrous gift within her hands
Through books we sail on distant sea-
Ano> wander far in foreign lands
We mfngle with the struggling throng,
That toll within the great worlds

With jostling crowd are borne along
To deepest mine, or mountain tops
And then the dearest of the three
Sits down at eve bes de my bed,
The angel of the blest 30 Be-
When all of life and light are fled
A future bright she holds in view,
Through lowly doorway hid by sod:
Oh, soul! Be patient, brave, and true:
What glories wait who walk with God

She smiled on me as 1 passed by

But as 1 did not know the maid
No word of greeting 1 conveyed,
1 smiled upon her in reply.
Let others that base method try:
They may succeed-so. did not I.
Her anger on my spirits weighed
She smiled on me!

My hat and hair were both awry;
My face a coat of SCOT displayed,
Both optics were in black arrayed;
But, holy smoke! I can't deny
She smiled on me!
