User-Contributed Transcription A Child's ThoughtThat is God's shadow mother is it not?Though God himself you say we cannot see."So asked a boy beside his parents knee,While through a window of their humble cot.Its blinding glare the sudden lightening shot"Not so my child, dark things alone" said she,When shone upon a shadow cast and theeIs brightness of all brightness so; hasn't forgotHow then was I taught that e'en archangels whereThey come before the Everlasting Core? His awful glories dare not look upon?"The boy looked thoughtful but soon spoke againAnd said: "Mamma, it is the shadow thenOf an archangel by God's burning throne!"
