Poem by Stephen Crane

* * *

Two or three angels
Came near to the earth.
They saw a fat church.
Little black streams of people
Came and went in continually.
And the angels were puzzled
To know why the people went thus,
And why they stayed so long within.

1. The livid lightnings flashed in the clouds
2. There was a great cathedral
3. In the night
4. Forth went the candid man
5. Many red devils ran from my heart
