First Line: Now, weary, one by one we lay
Last Line: As samson in captivity.
Alternate Author Name(s): Father Tabb
Subject(s): Sleep
Now, weary, one by one we lay
Aside the panoply of day;
And, like to little children, creep
Defenceless, to the arms of sleep.
Our heads upon her bosom, soon
Forgotten are the cares of noon,
That, shorn of shadows, helpless lie
As Samson in captivity.
