- The Angel's Whisper
A baby was sleeping;
Its mother was weeping;
For her husband was far on the wild raging sea;
And the tempest was swelling
Round the fisherman's dwelling;
And she cried, "Dermot, darling, O come back
to me!"
Her beads while she numbered,
The baby still slumbered,
And smiled in her face as she bended her knee;
"O, blest be that warning,
My child, thy sleep adorning,
For I know that the angels are whispering with
thee.
"And while they are keeping
Bright watch o'er thy sleeping,
O, pray to them softly, my baby, with me!
And say thou wouldst rather
They'd watch o'er thy father!
For I know that the angels are whispering to
thee."
The dawn of the morning
Saw Dermot returning,
And the wife wept with joy her babe's father to see;
And closely caressing
Her child with a blessing,
Said, "I knew that the angels were whispering
with thee." (en)
