Original text and translations
English text
- The angles are stooping
- Above your bed;
- They are 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.
