Four Popular Songs (2)/The Angels Whisper
The Angels Whisper.
A baby was sleeping its mother was weeping. for her husband was far on the wild raging seaAnd the tempest was swelling round the fisherman's dwelling and she cried, Dermot darling oh come back to me.
Her beads while she number'd the baby still slumber'd, and smil'd in her face as she bended her knee Oh bless d be that warning my child thy sleep adorning for I know that the angels are whisp'ring with thee.
And while they are keeping bright watch o'er thy sleeping oh pray to them softly my baby with me,And say thou would'st rather they'd watch o'er thy father, for I know that the ange's are whisp'ring with 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 whisp'ring with thee.
