    (continued from previous page)
    Oh, pray to them, softly my baby
    with me.
    And say thou woulds't rather
    they'd watched o'er father.
    For I know that the angels are
    whispering with thee.
    IV
    The dawn of the morning saw
    Dermot returning.
    And the wife wept with joy
    the babe's father to see.
    And slowly curessing her child
    with a blessing
    Said "I knew the angels are
    whispering with thee."
