densely ignorant�察�now�察�it was the raising up of those who had wandered 

and got trodden under foot�察�now�察�it was the wider employment of her own 

sex   in   the   general   business   of   life�察  �now�察  �it   was   all   these   things   at   once。 

Perfectly unselfish�察�swift to sympathise and eager to relieve�察�she wrought 

at   such    designs    with    a  flushed    earnestness     that  disregarded      season�察�

weather�察�time of day or night�察�food�察�rest。 Under such a hurry of the spirits�察�

and   such   incessant   occupation�察 �the  strongest   constitution   will   commonly 

go down。       Hers�察�neither of the strongest nor the weakest�察�yielded to the 

burden�察�and began to sink。 

     To   have   saved   her   life�察  �then�察  �by   taking   action   on   the   warning   that 

shone in her eyes and sounded in her voice�察�would have been impossible�察�

without changing her nature。            As long as the power of moving about in 

the   old   way   was   left   to   her�察  �she   must   exercise   it�察  �or   be   killed   by   the 

restraint。    And so the time came when she could move about no longer�察�

and took to her bed。 

     All the restlessness gone then�察�and all the sweet patience of her natural 

disposition purified by the   resignation of her soul�察 �she lay upon her   bed 

through the whole round of changes of the seasons。 She lay upon her bed 

through     fifteen   months。     In   all  that   time�察 �her   old   cheerfulness     never 

quitted her。     In all that time�察�not an impatient or a querulous minute can 

be remembered。 

     At   length�察  �at   midnight   on   the   second   of   February�察  �1864�察  �she   turned 

down a leaf of a little book she was reading�察�and shut it up。 

     The   ministering   hand   that   had   copied   the  verses   into   the  tiny   album 

was soon around her neck�察�and she quietly asked�察�as the clock was on the 

stroke of one�此�

     ;Do you think I am dying�察�mamma�拭─�

     ;I think you are very�察�very ill to´night�察�my dear� ─�

    Her sister entering as they raised her�察�she said�此     �It has come at last� ─�

And with a bright and happy smile�察�looked upward�察�and departed。 

    Well had she written�此�

      Why shouldst thou fear the beautiful angel�察�Death�察�Who waits thee at 

the portals of the skies�察�Ready to kiss away thy struggling breath�察�Ready 

with gentle hand to close thine eyes�拭�

    Oh what were life�察�if life were all�拭     �Thine eyes Are blinded by their 

tears�察�or thou wouldst see Thy treasures wait thee in the far´off skies�察�And 

Death�察�thy friend�察�will give them all to thee。

      VERSE�此                   �THE ANGEL'S STORY 



     Through   the   blue   and   frosty   heavens   Christmas   stars   were   shining 

bright�察   �Glistening     lamps    throughout      the  City    Almost     matched     their 

gleaming light�察�While the  winter snow was   lying�察�And the  winter  winds 

were sighing�察�Long ago�察�one Christmas night。 

     While�察  �from   every   tower   and   steeple�察  �Pealing   bells   were   sounding 

clear�察  。�Never   with   such tones   of gladness�察  �Save   when   Christmas   time   is 

near�撮�   Many  a   one   that   night   was   merry  Who   had   toiled   through   all   the 

year。     That     night   saw    old   wrongs     forgiven�察    �Friends�察   �long   parted�察�

reconciled�察�Voices all unused to laughter�察�Mournful eyes that rarely smiled�察�

Trembling   hearts   that   feared   the   morrow�察  �From   their   anxious   thoughts 

beguiled。 

     Rich and poor felt love and blessing From the gracious season fall�察�Joy 

and plenty in the cottage�察�Peace and feasting in the hall�察�And the voices of 

the children Ringing clear above it all� �

     Yet   one   house    was    dim   and   darkened�察    �Gloom�察    �and   sickness�察  �and 

despair�察  �Dwelling   in   the   gilded   chambers。   Creeping   up   the   marble   stair�察�

Even stilled the voice of mourning ´ For a child lay dying there。 

     Silken curtains fell around him�察�Velvet carpets hushed the tread。 Many 

costly toys were lying�察�All unheeded�察�by his bed�察�And his tangled golden 

ringlets Were on downy pillows spread。 

     The skill of all that mighty City To save one little life was vain�察�One 

little thread from being broken�察�One fatal word from being spoken�察�Nay�察�

his   very   mother's   pain�察�And   the   mighty   love   within   her�察  �Could   not   give 

him health again。 

     So she knelt there still beside him�察�She alone with strength to smile�察�

Promising   that   he   should   suffer   No   more   in   a   little   while�察  �Murmuring 

tender song and story Weary hours to beguile。 

     Suddenly an unseen Presence Checked those constant moaning cries�察�

Stilled the little heart's quick fluttering�察�Raised those blue and wondering 

eyes�察�Fixed on some mysterious vision�察�With a startled sweet surprise。 

     For   a   radiant   angel   hovered�察  �Smiling�察  �o'er   the   little   bed�察  �White   his 



                                                                                          12

raiment�察    �from    his  shoulders    Snowy      dove´like    pinions    spread�察  �And    a 

starlike light was shining In a Glory round his head。 

     While�察�with tender love�察�the angel�察�Leaning o'er the little nest�察�In his 

arms   the   sick   child   folding�察  �Laid   him   gently   on   his   breast�察  �Sobs   and 

wailings told the mother That her darling was at rest。 

     So   the  angel�察 �slowing   rising�察 �Spread his   wings�察  �and�察 �through   the   air�察�

Bore the child�察�and while he held him To his heart with loving care�察�Placed 

a branch of crimson roses Tenderly beside him there。 

     While   the   child�察  �thus   clinging�察  �floated   Towards   the   mansions   of   the 

Blest�察 �Gazing   from  his   shining   guardian To   the  flowers   upon   his   breast�察�

Thus the angel spake�察�still smiling On the little heavenly guest�此�

     ;Know�察  �dear   little   one�察  �that   Heaven   Does   no   earthly   thing   disdain�察�

Man's   poor   joys   find   there   an   echo   Just   as   surely   as   his   pain�察  �Love�察  �on 

earth so feebly striving�察�Lives divine in Heaven again� �

     ;Once in that great town below us�察�In a poor and narrow street�察�Dwelt 

a   little   sickly   orphan�察  �Gentle   aid�察  �or   pity   sweet�察  �Never   in   life's   rugged 

pathway Guided his poor tottering feet。 

     ;All the striving anxious forethought That should only come with age�察�

Weighed upon his baby spirit�察�Showed him soon life's sternest page�察�Grim 

Want was his nurse�察�and Sorrow Was his only heritage。 

     ;All too weak for childish pastimes�察�Drearily the hours sped�察�On his 

hands so small and trembling Leaning his poor aching head�察�Or�察�through 

dark and painful hours�察�Lying sleepless on his bed。 

     ;Dreaming strange and longing fancies Of cool forests far away�察�And 

of rosy�察�happy children�察�Laughing merrily at play�察�Coming home through 

green lanes�察�bearing Trailing boughs of blooming May。 

     ;Scarce a glimpse of azure heaven Gleamed above that narrow street�察�

And the sultry air of Summer ��That you call so warm and sweet�� Fevered 

the poor Orphan�察�dwelling In the crowded alley's heat。 

     ;One bright day�察�with feeble footsteps Slowly forth he tried to crawl�察�

Through      the   crowded     city's  pathways�察    �Till  he  reached    a  garden´wall�察�

Where 'mid princely halls and mansions Stood the lordliest of all。 

     ;There were trees with giant branches�察�Velvet glades where shadows 

hide�察�There were sparkling fountains glancing�察�Flowers�察�which in luxuriant

     ;He against the gate of iron Pressed his wan and wistful face�察�Gazing 

with   an   awe´struck   pleasure   At   the   glories   of   the   place�察  �Never   had   his 

brightest day´dream Shone with half such wondrous grace。 

     ;You     were    playing    in  that  garden�察   �Throwing      blossoms     in  the   air�察�

Laughing when   the petals   floated   Downwards   on   your   golden hair�察�And 

the   fond   eyes   watching   o'er   you�察�And   the   splendour   spread   before   you�察�

Turning to the ragged Orphan�察�Gave him coin�察�and bade him go�察�Down his 

cheeks so thin and wasted�察�Bitter tears began to flow。 

     ;But that look of childish sorrow On your tender child´heart fell�察�And 

you   plucked   the   reddest   roses   From   the   tree   you   loved   so   well�察  �Passed 

them through the stern cold grating�察�Gently bidding him 'Farewell��'

poor forlorn boy's spirit�察�Joy�察�the sleeping Seraph�察�stirred�察�In his hand he

the   holy   dreams   of   childhood   ´   Love�察  �and   Rest�察  �and   Hope�察  �and   Light   ´ 

Floated round the Orphan's pillow Through the starry summer night。
