Angel's breath?

Does anyone know if this is a name for something that grows?
In the song 'Summer Wine', she says:
'Strawberries, cherries and an angel's breath in spring
My summer wine is really made from all these things'
It got me thinking - is Angel's breath something that grows? Or something that you'd want to put in wine?
If it is...i feel a bath of 'Summer Wine' coming up.

Seems a strange thing to call a
sneezewort.
Don't remember the song (which seems to date back to 1967), but most Google references to it have
"..an angle's kiss"

Yeah, I remember the song but without seeing the lyrics I always thought they sang "an angel kissing spring...."
Well, there you go!

Apparently the leaves are edible and aromatic, might give a nice flavour to a summer wine depending on what they taste like!

Dammit! Having listened to the song again, it is Angels Kiss.
Back to the drawing board.

There's a tenuous link to this:

being called Angel's kiss, but its only on a random website to see which plants carry some kind of bug.
Still, its edible!
