At top of the thinnest steeple-spire,
Down below on the clattering square,
A carven angel with folded wings,
And folded arms, and circling hair,
Looks on in everlasting prayer;
And down below the loud bell rings
From chime to chime; a swallow sings,
A building its nest in the belfry-stair;
A grass-blade starts up here and there
And whispers and waves in the drafty air.
