An angel came to visit


This angel came to visit
Like to Abou Ben Adhem
I wish I was like him
I hope I am like him
I hope I am like him.

An angel came to visit
I gave him ladders
As he had lost his wings
For he gathered, that I gathered
Feathers and other things.

I said that when the wind blows
I make pillows
And these days sometimes duvets
And he said oh, oh,

You see the chiefs need them for their headdress
Not these common bedrests
And at this address we guessed
We'd find them all piled in a mess
I said, yes, yes,
I have a long to do list.

1. Abou Ben Adhem
