EVENING PRAYER by HERMANN HAGEDORN

First Line: SHE SANG HER LITTLE BEDTIME AIR
Last Line: OF HEAVEN'S ANGELS, LISTENING.
Subject(s): CATHOLICS; ROMAN CATHOLICS; CATHOLICISM;
She sang her little bedtime air
And drowsy-wise she spoke her prayer.

And as she spoke I saw the room
Open and stretch and glow and bloom;

And in her eyes I saw a ring
Of heaven's angels, listening.
