Night is the time for care : — •—^ II >a. Night is the time to pray: Brooding on hours misspent, Our Saviour oft withdrew To see the spectre of Despair To desert mountains far away; Come to our lonely teut; So will his followers do, Like Brutus, midst his slumbering host, Steal from the throng to haunts untrod. Summoned to die bj- Caesars ghost. And commune there alone with Grod. Night is the time to think: Night is the time for Death: When, from the eye, the soul When all around is peace, Takes flight; and on the utmost brink Calmly to yield the weary breath. Of yonder starry pole From sin and suffering cease. Discern beyond the abyss of night Think of heavens bliss, and give the sign The dawn of uncreated light. To parting friends;—such death be NOBODYS CHILD.
