ANGELS OF THE SPRING by ROBERT STEPHEN HAWKER

First Line: WE SEE THEM NOT - WE CANNOT HEAR
Last Line: IS MEET, MY LOVE, FOR THEE!
Subject(s): ANGELS; SPRING;

WE see them not -- we cannot hear
The music of their wing --
Yet know we that they sojourn near,
The Angels of the spring!

They glide along this lovely ground
When the first violet grows;
Their graceful hands have just unbound
The zone of yonder rose.

I gather it for thy dear breast,
From stain and shadow free:
That which an Angel's touch hath blest
Is meet, my love, for thee!
