A poem by Vachel Lindsay

In Memory Of A Child

________________________________________________
Title:     In Memory Of A Child
Author: Vachel Lindsay [More Titles by Lindsay]

The angels guide him now,
And watch his curly head,
And lead him in their games,
The little boy we led.

He cannot come to harm,
He knows more than we know,
His light is brighter far
Than daytime here below.

His path leads on and on,
Through pleasant lawns and flowers,
His brown eyes open wide
At grass more green than ours.

With playmates like himself,
The shining boy will sing,
Exploring wondrous woods,
Sweet with eternal spring.
