But the mother dreamt that she had gone into the church, and had seen the painted pictures and the carved angels with the gilded hair, and her own dear boy, the golden treasure of her heart, who was standing among the angels in white robes, singing so sweetly, as surely only the angels can sing; and that he had soared up with them into the sunshine, and nodded so kindly at his mother.
Who acts: mother, heart, angels, war · What happens: dreamt, go, see, paint, carve, gild · To what, where: own dear boy, church, painted pictures, sunshine, heart
