THE BURDEN by CONDE BENOIST PALLEN

First Line: LET NIGHT SHUT OUT THE CARES OF DAY
Last Line: THAT BENT THEE YESTERDAY.
Subject(s): STRENGTH;
Let night shut out the cares of day,
Blot out the sense of wrong,
And in the bath of slumber steep
The soul, till it grow strong.

Then, waking with the coming light,
Arise, and go thy way,
Leaving the burden to the night
That bent thee yesterday.
