Figure descriptions
Five children gather at the top-center of the illustration. There is an angel on either
side of the children; these angels
each embrace a child. The hand-drawn poem title and byline are placed below the children
within a dark circle. Leafy branches grow
between the first and second words of the poem title. An angel flies on either side
of this dark circle; these two angels turn their
backs to the viewer, face the children, and lift their arms straight above their heads.
They ascend from two fruit trees on either
side of the poem. The hand-drawn poem text is placed below the title and byline and
between the two trees. Grass grows below the
poem text along the bottom edge. Full-page illustration contained within a single-ruled
border.
Angels fly single file against the night sky. They extend their arms in front of them
and fly into the distance, getting
visibly smaller as they fly further away. The sky is filled with clouds, stars, and
the first-quarter moon. There are mountains,
trees, and a river below the angels. 1/2-page illustration contained within a circular
double-ruled border.
