My Guardian Angel,
I have a Guardian Angel,
With eyes beaming fire—
Their brightness is, in my belief,
Or glory from the skies.
With form of ethereal beauty,
So lovely that it wrings
An idea I have cherished
In fancy's fondest dreams.
I have a Guardian Angel,
Around whose radiant brow
Care-bringing chestnut tresses,
In rich luxuriance, flow:
With cheeks of blooming freshness,
—And lips which only part
To breathe, in gentle accents,
The language of her heart!
I have a Guardian Angel,
Who grieves when I am sad;
Whose features glow with pleasure
When'er my heart is glad;
Whose smile dispels each shadow
Which lowers o'er my way;
Who scatters thornless roses
Where'er my footsteps stray.
I have a Guardian Angel!
When she is by my side
I know no dark misgiving
Whatever may betide.
And more than fortune's favor,
And even life, I prize
My lovely Guardian Angel,
With beaming azure eyes.
