From heaven arrive angels to earth,
giving rise in mellow song
Breezing winds announce their birth,
whisking the melodies along

Flyer's swoop in merriment show;
soaring high on pretense of wings
Laughter's voice and chanting grow,
minds and hearts in harmony sing

Liquid glisten from soft-lit eyes,
becomes the dawn for each new day
Tomorrow comes without disguise;
gathered round, the children play

Silver buckles and spangled flair,
mimics the gleam on every face
Dressings trimmed with starry glare,
adorn the angel's denim and lace

With outstretched arms, the children run;
eminent glory depicted in flight
Aloft on wings, yet bearing none,
small angels ascend in heavens light
