ANGELA'S BIRTH
Angela came to us out of the flowers,
God's little blossom that changed into ours.
God's little blossom that changed into ours.
Cloves for her fingers, and cloves for her toes,
Eyes from the succory, mouth from the rose.
Eyes from the succory, mouth from the rose.

Loveliness sprang from the sisterly stocks,
Daffodils gave her those yellowy locks.
Daffodils gave her those yellowy locks.
Fairies that visit her constantly meet
Lilies and lavender making her sweet.
Lilies and lavender making her sweet.
Cherry-pie, pansy, forget-me-not, musk,
Wake in her dawning and sleep in her dusk.
Wake in her dawning and sleep in her dusk.
Angela came to us out of the flowers,
God's little blossom that changed into ours.
God's little blossom that changed into ours.
