Angels In the Rain

I looked out on the gloom of one dark day

as rain poured down. Glissandos my ear caught!

What joy streamed forth from sweet chords I heard play.

The source of them excitedly I sought.


My searching eyes at last beheld a sight

most marvelous! Amidst loud thundering,

two angels strummed on harps! And from their light,

flowed hope profound when they began to sing!


They sang a song that filled my heart with peace

because their lyrics told the story of

a time when animosity would cease.

Beneath a rainbow then, I felt God's love.

What a marvelous composition, on what seems to a rather difficult topic. And the angels without wings, what do they play?
