A Cradle Song + 

The angels are stooping + 

Above your bed; + 

They weary of trooping + 

With the whimpering dead. + 

God’s laughing in heaven + 

To see you so good; + 

The Sailing Seven + 

Are gay with His mood. + 

I sigh that kiss you, + 

For I must own + 

That I shall miss you + 

When you have grown. + 
