Analysis of Humanity Angelic
Letitia Elizabeth Landon 1802 (Chelsea) – 1838 (Cape Coast)
If ever angels walked on weary earth
In human likeness, thou wert one of them.
Thy native heaven was with thee, but subdued
By suffering life's inevitable lot;
But the sweet spirit did assert its home
By faith and hope, and only owned its yoke
In the strong love that bound it to its kind.
