They are angels of God in disguise;
His sunlight still sleeps in their tresses,
His glory still gleams in their eyes;

And I know now how Jesus could liken
The kingdom of God to a child.”

And the school for the day is dismissed,

My neck in their tender embrace
Oh, the smiles that are halos of heaven,
Shedding sunshine of love on my face.”
