Abou Ben Adhem (may his tribe increase!)
Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace,
And saw, within the moonlight in his room,
Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,
...
As you see universally
There is a great fall
Let love stretch its hands being universal
To love and teach us to love all,
...
I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen
Guarded by an Angel mild:
Witless woe was ne'er beguiled!
...
I have fallen from sky,
Fallen to the ground,
I am the angel of sadness,
Angel of lost hopes,
...
The dark wings of night enfolded the city upon which Nature had spread a pure white garment of snow; and men deserted the streets for their houses in search of warmth, while the north wind probed in contemplation of laying waste the gardens...
...
If I felt that you had been here,
it was because your angel would have touched me with his wing like a breeze,
and
you would have been here with him

A little East of Jordan,
Evangelists record,
...
A daughter is beauty at its finest.
Heart of an angel, soul so pure, and sweet.
...
In placid hours well-pleased we dream
Of many a brave unbodied scheme.
But form to lend, pulsed life create,
What unlike things must meet and mate:
...
'Angels of the love affair, do you know that other,
the dark one, that other me? '
1. ANGEL OF FIRE AND GENITALS
...
My angel is the one who looks over me
My angel is the who cares for me
My angel is the one who loves me
My angel has beautiful brown eyes
...
Go to sleep my angel and dream
Of heavenly places and heavenly faces
You shall be missed, my angel but rest in peace
In this world you could easily get hurt
...
Angelic minds, they say, by simple intelligence
Behold the Forms of nature. They discern
Unerringly the Archtypes, all the verities
Which mortals lack or indirectly learn.
...
Who says that all must vanish?
Who knows, perhaps the flight
of the bird you wound remains,
and perhaps flowers survive
...
An angel floated overhead,
With such soft gentle eyes,
I lay entranced upon my bed,
'Is this like when one dies? ',
...
The Angel that presided o'er my birth
Said, 'Little creature, form'd of Joy and Mirth,
'Go love without the help of any Thing on Earth.'
...
Two loves I have, of comfort and despair,
Which like two spirits do suggest me still:
The better angel is a man right fair,
The worser spirit a woman coloured ill.
...
Each day brings its toad, each night its dragon.
Der heilige Hieronymus- his lion is at the zoo-
Listens, listens. All the long, soft, summer day
Dreams affright his couch, the deep boils like a pot.
...
A pure white feather floats silently towards the ground.
As it lands, I pick it up,
and rest it gently in the palm of my hand.
...
You call me an angel of love and of light,
A being of goodness and heavenly fire,
Sent out from God's kingdom to guide you aright,
In paths where your spirits may mount and aspire.
...

'My future will not copy fair my past'—
I wrote that once; and thinking at my side
...
The soft moonbeams
fell in love with the earth.
I see in my dreams,
...
stay with me my angel
i need you now and again
stay with me my angel
you know your my only friend
...
A Beautiful sight, I've seen it once.
In a lonely white room
with a bed and a small chair,
table on three feet in a corner holding a bouquet
...
An angel stood beside the bed
Where lay the living and the dead.
He gave the mother -- her who died --
A kiss that Christ the Crucified
...
"It was wrong to do this," said the angel.
"You should live like a flower,
Holding malice like a puppy,
Waging war like a lambkin."
...
Close your eyes, my angel,
For now, you will see,
The wonderful, peaceful world
That once used to be.
...
Man I am and man would be, Love--merest man and nothing more.
Bid me seem no other! Eagles boast of pinions--let them soar!
I may put forth angel's plumage, once unmanned, but not before.
...
Looking down on a world
of violence and spite
an angel cries
...
Come, rest in this bosom, my own stricken deer,
Though the herd have fled from thee, thy home is still here;
Here still is the smile, that no cloud can o'ercast,
And a heart and a hand all thy own to the last.
...
My angel is the one who looks over me
My angel is the one who cares about me
My angel who has beautiful blue eyes
My angel has brown hair
...
(Rainer Maria Rilke)
He went up under the gray leaves
All gray and lost in the olive lands
...
When she was young
she loved to lay in wide open spaces,
intently gazing far away into the sky.
With a divinely silent patience
...
When my mother died I was very young,
And my father sold me while yet my tongue
Could scarcely cry 'Weep! weep! weep! weep!'
So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep.
...
AN angel, robed in spotless white,
Bent down and kissed the sleeping Night.
Night woke to blush; the sprite was gone.
...
On scraps of petals
I poured out verses
for the angel in me to sing.
...
I
(ll. 1-28) Right is it that we praise the King of heaven, the
Lord of hosts, and love Him with all our hearts. For He is great
...
At the drowsy dusk when the shadows creep
From the golden west, where the sunbeams sleep,
An angel mused: "Is there good or ill
...
When the world is fast asleep,
Along the midnight skies--
As though it were a wandering cloud--
The ghostly dream-ship flies.
...
Delivered out of raw continual pain,
smell of darkness, groans of those others
to whom he was chained--
...
The light house, the guardian angel of the night
She shines her light for all the lost sailors passing by
Her beam bright as the sun, flashing through the night sky
...
As I was walking through the woods on a warm Summer day
Then saw an Angel up ahead as I went along my way
My reaction to this Angel was not borne out of fear
I began to speak softly for I knew that she could hear
...
without me you will have nothing but torment and mischief
go on and leave me renounce your belief
anyway our tree has only one leaf
it is one of sadness one of grief
...
before i met u i was known mearly by my name
after i met you i am known as the happiest soul
you are my inspiration, you are my teacher
you are my angel, you are my superstar
...
Gazing at the sky
an angel with marble wings
forgets how to fly
pinned as it is to the earth
...
On angel wings you do fly
On angel wings into the sky
On angel wings i do cry
Because those angel wings took you away
...
Angels inhabit love songs. But they’re sprites
not seraphim. The angel that up-ended
Jacob had sturdy calves, moist hairy armpits,
...
She's an angel now
Carried to the other side
She has left a piece of her inside me
Though, we didn't always agree
...
Night comes, an angel stands
Measuring out the time of stars,
Still are the winds, and still the hours.
...
Forgive me if i look at you and i'll lose my mind
Forgive me if i write a song for you
Forgive me if i count the stars at night and think about you
Forgive me if i wish that you'd be here with me
...
A golden-winged Angel stood
Before the Eternal Judgement-seat:
His looks were wild, and Devils' blood
...
I met someone somewhere out there
One angel, with eyes that dare
I saw him sent from the sky
Oh, he’s an angel, an angel of a butterfly
...
Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod,
With its crystal tide for ever flowing
by the throne of God?
...
i smile a fake smile
so no one can actually see
that my pain is over whelming
that i could never leave
...
I’m His Angel
I’m his angel the one who looks over him
I’m his angel the one who cares for him
...
========================
Wings as black as midnight
=My misunderstood angel=
Tears running down his cheeks
...
Angels of high order
Are called the SERAPHIM
They daily discourse with the Lord
And daily in complete accord
...
I see the countless Christmas Trees around the world below,
with tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
I hear many Christmas songs that people hold so dear,
but the sounds of music can't hide the feeling of being
...
Let the angel sleep
And dream of paradise
For its lost and tired
As the loneliness becomes too much
...
'It was wrong to do this,' said the angel.
'You should live like a flower,
Holding malice like a puppy,
Waging war like a lambkin.'
...
' My future will not copy fair my past'--
I wrote that once; and thinking at my side
My ministering life-angel justified
The word by his appealing look upcast
...
OH for one hour of youthful joy!
Give back my twentieth spring!
I'd rather laugh, a bright-haired boy,
Than reign, a gray-beard king.
...
If my life is like a river, not all pebbles are shiny;
If my life is like a flower, not all petals are smooth;
...
An angel was tired of heaven, as he lounged in the golden street;
His halo was tilted sideways, and his harp lay mute at his feet;
So the Master stooped in His pity, and gave him a pass to go,
For the space of a moon, to the earth-world, to mix with the men below.
...
My little Angel is always with me
She lives inside me
In the four chambers of my heart
In all four corners of my head.
...

Soul, Wilt thou toss again?
By just such a hazard
...
I am your hiding angel
May i stay in your heart
as an angel undercover
I am your hiding angel.
...
You flew too high for any mortal,
when love first struck you,
but then one-day love didn’t sing,
and you ended up, an angel with a broken wing.
...
My future will not copy fair my past -
I wrote that once; and thinking at my side
My ministering life-angel justified
The word by his appealing look upcast
...
Tired night like angel
Peeps from the window
Resurrection of memory
...
Angel of Pain, I think thy face
Will be, in all the heavenly place,
The sweetest face that I shall see,
The swiftest face to smile on me.
...
stand from where you sit.
be yellow in a group of red.
be the thorns on that rose.
be the key to this very soul.
...
It is a bright day
Lovely clouds drift into view
Forming the image
Of a beautiful Angel
...
Jesus His Mother meets:
She looks on Him and sees
The Savior in Her Son:
The Angel's word comes back:
...
There's an Angel within me who KNOWS what I need.
I can have what I ask for, if I only BELIEVE.
My Angel is with me where ever I go.
If there is DANGER ahead, my Angel will KNOW.
...
Two loves I have of comfort and despair,
Which like two spirits do suggest me still:
The better angel is a man right fair,
The worser spirit a woman colour'd ill.
...
Looking at the sky I'm aware
of a presence, of an impact,
of a contact.
It whispers through the black,
...
I am not angel
But I am more and more better than angel,
Angel only obeys one God's certain command
But I obey His more commands,
...
The dark, black Angel of Chaos
Time after time experienced loss
Planning the absolute annihilation
Of those whose hearts are full of sin
...
In the darkness of your sorrow
In the emptiness of grief
When the hope of understanding has gone dim,
From a realm beyond the senses
...
Decapitated angel
turned to stone
crying
...
Joy's City hath high battlements of gold;
Joy's City hath her streets of gem-wrought flow'rs;
She hath her palaces high reared and bold,
...
A Celtic spearman forcing the cromlech-builder's brown
daughter;
A blond Saxon, a slayer of Britons,
...
Thank you for being an Angel
That's what the lady had said
Her carrier had split and her fruit and her veg
Had all on the pavement been shed!
...
As Adam lay a-dreaming beneath the Apple Tree
The Angel of the Earth came down, and offered Earth in fee;
But Adam did not need it,
Nor the plough he would not speed it,
...
At the end of my coping
At my falling apart
The work of my angel
Repaired my poor heart
...
I took it for a bird of prey that soared
High over ocean, battled mount, and plain;
'Twas but a bird-moth, which with limp horns gored
...
There is a coal-black Angel
With a thick Afric lip,
And he dwells (like the hunted and harried)
In a swamp where the green frogs dip.
...
I'm miss-spelling this message to try to shove
it past that spamblock that bans risky words like vole;
and to tell you, my darling, my angel, my beaut
...
The brow of a horse in that moment when
The horse is drinking water so deeply from a trough
It seems to inhale the water, is holy.
...
To-day I have grown taller from walking with the trees,
The seven sister-poplars who go softly in a line;
And I think my heart is whiter for its parley with a star
That trembled out at nightfall and hung above the pine.
...
All travellers at first incline
Where'er they see the fairest sign
And if they find the chambers neat,
And like the liquor and the meat,
...
You Are My Angel
The Best Gift There Could Ever Be
Bringing Fresh Course To Life
You Truly Complete Me!
...
Should some great angel say to me to-morrow,
“Thou must re-tread thy pathway from the start,
But God will grant, in pity, for thy sorrow,
Some one dear wish, the nearest to thy heart.’
...
I dreamt a dream the other night
That an Angel appeared to me, clothed in white.
Oh! it was a beautiful sight,
Such as filled my heart with delight.
...
To the too-dear, to the too-beautiful,
who fills my heart with clarity,
to the angel, to the immortal idol,
All hail, in immortality!
...
