>And saw, within the moonlight of his room,
>Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom,
>An angel writing in a book of gold:-
>Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,

>And with a look made of all sweet accord,
>Answered 'The names of those who love the Lord.'
>'And is mine one?' said Abou. 'Nay, not so,'
>Replied the angel. Abou spoke more low,
>But cheerly still; and said 'I pray thee then,

>The angel wrote, and vanished. The next night
>It came again with a great wakening light,
>And showed the names who love of God had blessed,
>And lo! Ben Adhem's name led all the rest.
