                    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
