NOW LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEP
The FIRE upon the hearth is low

The FIRE upon the hearth is low.
And there is stiffness everywhere.
Like troubled spirits here and there
The freight shadows fluttering 20
And as the shadow round me creep.
A childish treble breaks the gloom.
And softly from a farther room
Comes: Now lay me down TO sleeu"
And. somehow, with that little PRAYER
And that sweet treble in my ears.
My thought goes back to dis tant years
AND liners with Gear one there;
And as hear the childs amen.
Ny mothers faith comes back to me
Couched at her side I seem 10 be,
And mother holds my hands again
OH for an hour in that dear pllce,
OH for the peace OF that dear time
OH for that childish trust sublime!
OH for glimpse Of mothers face
Yet, as the shadows round me creep,
do not seem 10 be alone
Sweet magic Of that treble tone
And now lay me down TO sleep"
