I enjoy the fluidity and simplicity of the poem. It almost has a nursery rhyme-type feel to it whilst conveying a very important message. So your chimneys I sweep, and in soot I sleep. And by came an Angel who had a bright key, And he opened the coffins and set them all free; Then down a Heavdn plain leaping, laughing, they run, And wash in a river, and shine in the sun.
