THE PITY OF THE ANGELS.
Reading edition
("Un Ange vit un jour.") {LA PITIÉ SUPREME VIII., 1881.}
When an angel of kindness Saw, doomed to the dark, Men framed in his likeness, He sought for a spark— Stray gem of God's glory That shines so serene— And, falling like lark, To brighten our story, Pure Pity was seen.
