Replied the Angel:
Abu spoke more low But cheerily still and said 'I pray thee then Write me as one that
loves his fellow-men'
The angel wrote and vanished. The next night
It came again with awaking light
And showed the
names of whom love of God had blessed.
And lo! Ben Adam's name led all the rest.Again
Samuel Taylor Coleridge says as follows in his The Ancient Mariner
Farewell, farewell, but this I tell
To thee, thou Wedding-Guest,
He prayeth well who loveth well
Both man and bird and beast.
He prayeth best that loveth best
All
things both great and small;
Nor
the dear God who loveth us,
He made and
loveth all.
