FOR THE NIGHT.
O God' this gloomy night Bo Thou our light' If troubles storm our breast, Be Thou oui rest ' If slumber flee our ejes, Still to the skies Our every look direct, And us protect If dangeis o'er us brood, From fire or flood. If evil thoughts should tread Aiound our bed, Take Thou the trenchant swoid And falay then. Lord' When every baleful thought Is hi ought to naught, O then, m sweet lepose, Our eyelids close, Until, at morn, with Thco, We wake to be. -H. J. B. July, 1902
