Subject(s): Night; Peace; Rest; Bedtime
On roads of gathering dusk
I wait the coming Night,
Dear, blessed Night,
Mother of the Moon,
Mother of the Stars,
Clothed in wonder,
Robed in mystery,
Bearing in her hands,
Quietness and rest ...
Take me up in Thy bosom
Dear Night!
With all the tired children of earth,
Gather me up in Thine arms!
Give unto me,
And give unto them,
Of Thy stillness
And Thy peace.
Dear Night,
Mother of the Moon,
Mother of the Stars,
Clothed in wonder,
Robed in mystery,
Give unto me
And unto all Thy children
Of Thy stillness
And Thy peace.
