Notes About The Poem

When Angels Wept

As the least of good intentions slept,
the dreams of all the Angels wept.
When from men’s hearts forgiveness lept,
the souls of all the Angels wept.
When brooms of evil sadly swept,
the songs from all the Angels wept.
When over truth false prophets crept,
the face of all the Angels wept.
From lost promises of faith not kept,
the eyes of all the Angels wept.
