Angel Visits. A Lyric for the New Year, by Charles MacKay, 1850. Sentimental scene illustrating a song or poem. 'Thou'rt old, grandfather - old and blind, But ever cheerful, good, and kind. I love, when early summer blooms, And meads are lavish of perfumes, To see thee in thy garden chair, With silvery locks, and forehead bare, And face upturn'd, as thou hadst striven, To look through darkness into Heaven'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
