Image of Daydreamer by Current
Wingless Angel
I saw a face of an angel
'twas without her wings
Tho' she glides, just
slightly o'er
Ne'er her eyes go yon
from a book of hymns
A smile that would make
a sun, be asunder
A voice that stars mimic
through their twinkles
Well after an ocher'd day
delves to a charcoaled night
Unwet in a deluge
of sprinkles
Constant her quietude,
a rare graceful sight
For I saw a face of a
wingless angel
Who said grace
at our dinner table
