"Shut In"

"Shut in" All, well, my body lies
Confined and pent these walls between
The while my happy spirit flies,
AS free as waveetS L lncing 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,
/ tread the paths of childhoods days.
1 laugh and shout and lightly cast
All care aside for childish plays
/ 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,
And wander far in foreign lands.
We mingle with the struggling throng,
That toll within the great world s
shops,
With jostllng crowd are borne along
To deepest mine, or mountain tops.
And then the dearest of the three
Sits down at eve beside my bed,
Tho angel of the blest ITO Be-"
When all of life and light are fed.
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!
