Vertical band alignment in TD

Question

I ran into some problems with CSS formatting table columns using bootstrap. Normal tdlooks like this:

<td style="vertical-align: middle; font-size: 10px;">
<span class="edit-icon glyphicon glyphicon-pencil" style="vertical-align: top !important;"></span>
Content
</td>

With a class, edit-iconit looks like this:

.edit-icon {
    float: right;
    padding-top: 3px;
    padding-right: 3px;
}

Ideally, the contents of the cell should be vertically vertical, and the icon should be in the upper right corner. I tried for several hours, but to no avail, to figure out how to center one element vertically and one element up vertically in the same cell.

To further show the problem, here is the current view:

Any help on how to solve this CSS puzzle would be greatly appreciated!
