Dear and great Angel, wouldst thou only leave

That child, when thou hast done with him, for me!

Let me sit all the day here, that when eve

Shall find performed thy special ministry,

And time come for departure, thou, suspending

Thy flight, may'st see another child for tending,

Another still, to quiet and retrieve.

(Browning: The Guardian Angel. 1855.)
