The Mind
XXXII. Two or three angels
From The Black Riders and Other Lines (1895)
The Mind
Two or three angels
Came near to the earth.
They saw a fat church.
Little black streams of people
Came and went in continually.
And the angels were puzzled
To know why the people went thus,
And why they stayed so long within.
