The Angel of Earth

She has gone for eternal sleep
Ssssshhhhh! !
Keep silence, don’t make a noise
she has gone for eternal sleep
where she’ll be aboding
for eternal life
her pen is calm too
her long life company
her mortal life has resigned too
she has gone for eternal life
to pluck heavenly words
and rain on us
to create heavenly poems
which she loved
throughout her life
Ssssssshhhhhhhh hh! !
She has gone for eternal sleep
THE ANGEL OF EARTH
MAYA ANGELOU ! ! ! ! !
