Hmmmm Whom does the Lord love most ? Poet Leigh Hunt 1784–1859 Abu Bin Adam (may his tribe increase!) ( Bin Adam = Humans) Awoke one night from a deep dream of peace, And saw, within the moonlight in his room, Making it rich, and like a lily in bloom, An angel writing in a book of gold:— Exceeding peace had made Bin Adam bold, And to the Presence in the room he said What writest thou?—The vision raised its head, And with a look made of all sweet accord, Answered The names of those who love the Lord. And is mine one? said Abu. Nay, not so, Replied the angel. Abu spoke more low, But cheerly 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 a great wakening light, And showed the names whom love of God had blessed, And lo! Bin Adams name led all the rest.
