AN ANGEL IN THE HOUSE.

Alas! we think not what we daily see

About our hearths,

angels, that are to be,

Or may be if they will, and we prepare
Their souls and ours to meet in happy air,
A child, a friend, a wife whose soft heart sings
In unison with ours, breathing its future wings.

LEIGH HUNT.
