THE BLACK RIDERS: 32, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: Two or three angels / came near to the earth
Last Line: And why they stayed so long within.


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.
