Little Angel
My tiny angel I desire you here below
so I can see, hear and know
my tiny angel that went away
on the bleak and wintry day.
Now you sit beside the master's side
my grief and pain I cannot hide
O’ my aching heart is fill with sorrow
Let me thy sweetest comfort borrow
You came to see me in my dreams
my soul enlightened my eyes agleam
and every pow’r found sweetest joy
I awoke, and saw my little boy.
You are my angel from on high
descending from the moonlit sky
The long, long silence finally broke
I heard your voice you gently spoke.
The sweetest word I longed to hear
your sweet, sweet spirit o’ so near
when of this scene of joy and love
you come to me from heaven above
With each dawning of the day
within my heart you sweetly stay
and when I lay my head upon my pillow
my dreams are like an ember about to billow.
Your memory etched within my mind
when you were here, and only mine
and thou the angels came and took you away
with in my dreams you will always stay.
I hope to see you once again
that joy may take and ease the pain
let radiant splendor fill my mind
and hear your voice within the wind.
