Do Angels Feel the Cold?

By Delwin Rees Buckner

When savage wintry winds howl dismally, And flecks of hoar frost veil the frozen ground; When, everywhere one treads, he hears the sound Of crackling ice, and each bedizened tree Is shivering in stylish misery, In silver lace and glistening gems be- gowned, I wonder, then, if angels which surround Us mortals, suffer cold the same as we. At any rate, how kind of them to leave The regions of eternal warmth and light, Where they might bask in beams from heaven's throne, To come down here, where everything must grieve Their sinless souls, in order that they might Be ministering angels to God's own!
