Two little children, a girl an' a boy
Stood by an old chruch door
Th little girls feet were as brown as th curl

Why don't you go home to your Mother, I said
An' this was th Mother's reply

We came here to sleep at th close of th day
For we have no Mother or home

The angels in Heaven they --- for th children
To be with their Mother, at home
