Earth To Heaven

Warner Baxter

ashes to ashes and dust to dust
asleep in a box so we won't rust
ethereal tears and angel's breath
bonds spirit to soul, life after death

with halo hat and angel arms
take me where the angel charms
East of the Sun and West of the Moon
where cherubs float and stars are strewn
