Irene (Your Baby Was Here)

Emma Smith:
The wind through the cyprus made them sway
And rolled the clouds back that winter day
The sun shone through long enough to say
«Your baby was here, but cannot stay.»
For there are more important things to do
And she must add a gleam to heaven’s hue
To help brighten the pathway for one and all
For through the darkness, great men fall!
This little spirit, so pleasant and fair
Returned to the ones who were waiting there
And when I walk out in the night divine
I know one of the stars that shine is mine!
She came to the earth just for a while
Not long enough to see her smile
For this little baby we loved so much
Was just to precious for a mother’s touch
