Must we stand so far, and she
So very fair?
Second Angel.
As bodies be.
First Angel.
And she so mild?
Second Angel.
As spirits when
They meeken, not to God, but men.
First Angel.
And she so young, that I who bring
Good dreams for saintly children, might
Mistake that small soft face to-night,
And fetch her such a blessèd thing
That at her waking she would weep
For childhood lost anew in sleep.
How hath she sinned?
Second Angel.
