THE GUARDIAN-ANGEL:
A PICTURE AT FANO.
1.
Dear and great Angel, wouldst thou only leave
That child, when thou hast done with him, for me!
Let me sit all the day here, that when eve
Shall find performed thy special ministry
And time come for departure, thou, suspending
Thy flight, mayst see another child for tending,
Another still, to quiet and retrieve.

Then I shall feel thee step one step, no more,
From where thou standest now, to where I gaze,
Then I shall feel thee step one step, no more,
From where thou standest now, to where I gaze,
