Good night my child,
may the angels
feather your bed
and your dreams;
be of peace,
with the gentle spirits
of those who've
gone before
that we might
now enjoy the fruits
of their labor
as well as ours.
Verse 2
********
So as the night closes
the windows and doors;
the evening bell tolls
for all it is time,
to kneel in prayer.
Verse 3
********
May the blessings
of angels attend
to you my child
in peaceful sleep
keeping you from harm
till in the morning
you again arise.
