Just now, as warm day faded from our sight <br />Hosts of archangels, fleet <br />On lighting-winged feet <br />Passed by, all glimmering in the busy night <br /> <br />Sweet angels, bringing no blinding truth to birth <br />Give us no messages <br />From heavenly palaces; <br />Leave us our dark trees and our starlight earth.<br /><br />Lesbia Harford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/summer-lightning-2/
