"An angel's rhapsody"

by Nurin Nafisah

Once he saw an angel,
Flying solo under her wings,
Winding by the winds,
Then perching on her heel,

Once he heard an angel,
Singing over her answers,
Grudging through her manners,
Still--not to betray to be noble,

La-la-la
La-la-la-lu-lu;
she sang at the bayou,

La-la-la
La-la-la-li-li;
she admired his sherry,

La-la-la
La-la-la-du-du;
her weep as the dropping dew,

Once he found an angel shining,
Up flown under her wings--lightly,
Wrapped inearth her mourning,
Then confessed her purity--saintly.
