INCOGNITO, by WINIFRED LUCAS

First Line: An angel came and touched my hand
Last Line: Were pain to his humility.
Alternate Author Name(s): Le Bailly, Mrs.
Subject(s): Angels
AN angel came and touched my hand.
His hidden name
Nor he nor I could understand;
Nor of his fame
Knew he, nor of the way he came.
But, as he went, I learned and bowed,
But would not cry
For him to hear, his name aloud.
To rank so high
Were pain to his humility.
