'T was starlight now ; the moon had waned : He hardly saw the face Of him he talked with ; but he felt Great peace was in the place. " Of God's own saints," the angel said, " A few lie buried here ; And He so loves them that to Him Their very dust is dear I 66 ANGELS IN THE CHURCHYARD " So, while their souls with perfect peace Are in His presence blest, He will not that these humble graves Should all unhonoured rest. " Each night from heaven He sends us down, Where'er His flowers are sown — The...se bodies that shall one day rise. All glorious like His own I " The saint was silent, for his lips Could find no word to say : He stood entranced, and like to one Whose soul is far away. At length he roused ; the stars were dim, The night had half withdrawn : A light was in the eastern sky. The clear pale light of dawn. Then came a freshening in the air, A twitter in the trees, A ripple in the dewy grass That felt the early breeze ; 67 ANGELS IN THE CHURCHYARD And sounded from the tower above The sweet-toned, ancient bell ; While bright and busy over all The summer morning fell.
