An Angel

One day I had a dream
From which I woke up
An Angel had come down
That she should soon return!

To heaven where she lived
Looking at me again
Filling in a few days
All my being!
Of infinite love
That a mother
Can have.

That visit was short-lived
And for the first time
I had seen an Angel
In that little being

Who would call me mother!
Filling my whole being
That little angel
That I should return to heaven

Now from heaven
My angel I will have
Who will see me from afar
Filling my whole being

Lighting up my days
In every dawn
Shining every night
To heaven I can see
A little star that lights up
It shows!
It is the face of an Angel
That he must have returned to heaven!
