Now within
an angel twin
a spirit capped
Covered
A fallen twin
though spirit kept
crept within
Shuttered
Leaves impress
though wither since
yet with one hand
Carried
By silk, by light
a faith, a plight
as we hark and herald
Surely
I am to have
come today
Happy I believe
and run away
(Eva Sweetly, 15 May 1915)
