The angels came—those holy thoughts so high
Of peace, and strength, and perfect constancy;
For from the mind had flown the fearful thoughts
Of haste and fear, impatient, headstrong will,
Which to the sense of men all sorrows bring—
The judging thought, which sees our brother-man
As less than good, or deems him base or mean.
Now Love divine has swept the heart so free,
That angels can their message bring to me.
