“A precious place is Paradise and none may know its worth, But Eden ever longeth for the knicknacks of the earth. The angels grow quite wistful over worldly things below; They hear the hurdy-gurdies in the Candle Makers Row. They listen for the laughter from the antics of the earth; They lower pails from heaven's walls to catch the milk-maids mirth.” KnowsMayEarthHeavenGrowsWallLaughterAngelParadiseMakersMilkCandleWorldlyEdenMaidsMirthAnticsWorldly Things Book:The Janitor's Boy and Other Poems Source: The Janitor's Boy and Other Poems
