    I wonder if ever a song was sung but the singer's heart sang
    sweeter!
    I wonder if ever a rhyme was rung but the thought surpassed the
    meter!
    I wonder if ever a sculptor wrought till the cold stone echoed
    his ardent thought!
    Or, if ever a painter with light and shade the dream of his
    inmost heart portrayed!

Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
And say, within the moonlight in his room,
Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,
An angel, writing in a book of gold;
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the presence in the room he said--
"What writest thou?" The Vision raised its head,
And, with a look made all of sweet accord,
Answered, "The names of those who love the Lord."

An angel stood and met my gaze,
Through the low doorway of my tent;
The tent is struck, the vision stays;
I only know she came and went.
