The little angels of Heaven
Each wear a long ______ dress,
And in the tall arcadings
Play ball and ______ at chess;
With never a soil on their garments,
______ a sigh the whole day long,
Not a bitter ______ in their pleasure,
Not a bitter note in their song.
But they shall know keener pleasure,
And they shall ______ joy more rare—
Keener, keener pleasure
When you, my dear, come there.
The little angels of Heaven
Each wear ______ long white gown,
And they lean over the ramparts
______ and looking down.
