The Angels 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 oh come back to me.
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 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 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.
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.
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.
