Analysis of ...Angel, saint or quaint
ANGEL ,SAINT OR QUAINT
=====================
Every saint has a past and future in the halo.
I cannot speak and look like a saint,being a low
That though i wanted to be an angel or fairy ,
' But in fact its very difficult.'Twas nothing but a feint.
Fairies with gossamer wings shows a truth of saint,
She knelt, so pure a thing, so free from mortal taint.
Uses wit,and humor and make deceit a pleasure,
And call craft counsel, for profit still to paint.
And on her lips there played a smile without restraint,
And with a faith appealed the face and graces of the Saint.
Nor turns the word that from her mouth is gone
But newborn babies can't do much on their own-
Every saint has a past and a future without complaint
The moon was pallid but not faint and as beautiful as a saint
