An Angel Kissed My Furrow'd Brow

"An angel kissed my furrow'd brow,
                And relieved a troubled dream,
"The morning mist has her lips,
                This angel I have seen."

"An angel kissed my furrow'd brow,
                And brought me to the night,
"A waking world of revelation,
                A garden of all delight."

"An angel kissed my furrow'd brow,
                And thus I sprang from slumber,
"A thousand thanks! A thousand hopes!
                And prayers I cannot number."

"An angel kissed my furrow'd brow,
                And moved swiftly from my side,
"Dawn was breaking and night forsaking,
                My angel had to hide."

"An angel kissed my furrow'd brow,
                 And relieved a troubled dream,
"The morning mist has her lips,
                 This angel I have seen."
