Relationships
A Cradle Song
From The Rose (1893)
Relationships
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 shining Seven
Are gay with His mood.
I kiss you and kiss you,
My pigeon, my own;
Ah, how I shall miss you
When you have grown.
