Keep the firm way and better part.
Unto the other has been given
The loveliest name is known in Heaven,
“The Guardian of the Selfless Soul,”—
Those dear souls who through joy and pain
Lose their own lives to find again,
Bearing the weight of other’s dole.
A crown of roses snowy white
Surrounds one Angel’s brow of light,—
Sweet, sweet the odor that it breathes;
