The angels are stooping

John Tavener, William Butler Yeats

The angels are stooping
Above your bed;
They weary of trooping
With the whimpering dead
God's laughing in heaven
To see you so good;
The Shining Seven
Are gay with His mood
I kiss you and kiss you
My pigeon my own
Ah how I shall miss you
When you have grown
