Angel Poem by Duncan Campbell Scott
Angel
Come to me when grief is over,
When the tired eyes,
Seek thy cloudy wings to cover
Close their burning skies.
Come to me when tears have dwindled
Into drops of dew,
When the sighs like sobs re-kindled
Are but deep and few.
Hold me like a crooning mother,
Heal me of the smart;
All mine anguish let me smother
In thy brooding heart.
The major theme in the poem 'Angle'' is the idea of pain and healing. The character the narrator talks to lost someone dear to her and the narrator mentions a few steps she must take to get over the pain.

Beautiful poem. One must let go of grief before even the idea of healing can take place. This poem makes a fine distinction between two states of mind. Sunk in waters or making an effort to swim out of it.
