2.
Tho' they may lay beneath the ground
The form of Alle dear,
I know his spirit hovers round,
And mingles with us here,
His home may be in heaven above,
Yet oft to us below,
He will return to breathe his love,
The angels told me so.

CHORUS
The angels told me so,
He will return to breathe his love,
The angels told me so,
The angels told me so,
He will return to breath his love,
The angels told me so.

2.
His form reposed upon the bier,
In sweet [cherit'ble?] rest,
When others came to shed a tear,
And ease his sobbing breast,
But Willie fell to throbbing pain,
As he repeats, "I know
Dear Alle will come back again,
The angels told me so."

CHORUS
The angels told me so,
Dear Alle will come back again,
The angels told me so,
The angels told me so,
Dear Alle will come back again,
The angels told me so,

3.
And as he gazed his eyes grew bright,
And joy o'erspread his brow,
While exclaims in rapt delight,
"Oh, there is Alle now"!
I knew I would return to see
Those he so loved below,
And be a brother still to me,
The angels told me so.

CHORUS
The angels told me so,
And be a brother still to me,
The angels told me so,
The angels told me so,
And be a brother still to me,
The angels told me so,
