      Loud roared the Tempest , Fast fell the sleet ;

      A little Child Angel Passed down the street ,

      With trailing pinions , And weary feet .

      The moon was hidden ?

      ] _STo stars were bright , Bo she could not shelter

      In heaven that night , For the Angels' ladders

      Are rays : of light . She beat her wings

      At each window pane , And pleaded for shelter ,

      But all in vain ; " Listen 6 i To the , " they pelting said rain , ! 1 f >

      She sobbed , as the laughter And mirth grew higher ,

      " Give nie rest and shelter Beside your fire ,

      And I will give you Your heart ' s desire ! "

      The dreamer sat watcMng ' His embers' gleam

      , "While his heart was floating * Down hoi _^ e ' s bright stream _;

      .... So he wove her wailing Into his dream .

      The worker toiled on , For Ms time was brief ;

      The mourner was nursing Her own pale grief :

      They heard not the promise

      I That brought relief _.
