Happy Birthday, Cleo

A Cradle Song by William Butler Yeats

The angels are bending
Above your white bed;
They weary of tending
The souls of the dead.

God smiles in high heaven
To see you so good;
The old planets seven
Grow gay with His mood.

I kiss you and kiss you,
With arms round my own;
Ah, how shall I miss you,
When, dear, you have grown.
