Original text and translations

English text

The angles are stooping
Above your bed;
They are weary of trooping
With the whimpering dead.
God's laughing in heaven
To see you so good,
The Sailing Seven
Are gay with his mood.
I sigh that kiss you,
For I must own
That I shall miss you
When you have grown.
