Twelve angels from the north

Twelve angels from the east

Twelve angels from the south

Twelve angels from the west

Coming for to carry me away 



Angels shooting from your brow

Angels leaping from your mouth

Angels lighting on your shoulders

East and west and north and south

Coming for to carry me away



Angels flying from your fingers

Angels dancing on your breast

Angels happy just to linger

North and south and east and west

Coming for to carry me away



Angels sleeping in your hair

Angels resting at your feet

Angels singing on your stairs

South and north and west and east

Coming for to carry me away



Angels in the inky night

Angels when the day breaks forth

Angels at the noonday table

West and east and south and north

Coming for to carry me away



Me no more, me no more, me no more
