J If there were a ladder, mother, Between the earth and ally, As in ttie days of the Bible. 1 would bid you all good-bye; And go through every county, And search from town to town, ’Till I had found the ladder with angels coming down. Then I would wait quite softly Beside the low est round, Till the sweetest lookiug angel Had stepped upon the ground, I would pull her darling garment, And speak out very plain, Will you take me please to heaven, When you go back again? “Ah darling,” said the mother, “You need not wander so To find the golden ladder, When, angels come and go, Vi'herever gentle kindness Oil pitying love abounds There is the wondrous ladder With at'gels on the rounds.’’ C.
