baby was sleeping,
Its mother was weeping,
For her husband was far the Wild raging sea,
And the tempest was swelling
Round the fsheruszn's dwelling,
And she cried Dermot Earring, Oh, come back TO me-
Her beads Whhe she numbered,
The baby stiu Elurabered,
And smiled in her face, As she Blended her knee;
Oh, blest be that wnrning,
Ny child, thy sleep adjoining,
For know that the angels whispering with thee
And while they are keeping
Bright watch Ger thy sleeping,
Oh pray 70 them softly, my baby, with me,
And say thou wouldst rather,
They'd watch Ger thy father,
For knoE that the angels whispering with thee
The dawn Of the morning
Say Derngt returning,
And the wife wept with joy her babes father to see
And closely caressing
Her child, with a blessing,
Said, " knew that the angels were whispering with
thee"
