First Line: In the suburb, in the town
Last Line: Him an angel whom she leads.
Variant Title(s): Motto To 'new England Reformers'


In the suburb, in the town,
On the railway, in the square,
Came a beam of goodness down
Doubling daylight everywhere:
Peace now each for malice takes,
Beauty for his sinful weeds,
For the angel Hope aye makes
Him an angel whom she leads.
