By their entreating prayer
The angels fill the air
To guard my steps, to bare
The veil inviolate.
The visions leave me now ;
I sink to sleep ;
Calm and content my brow,
My eyes are large and deep.
The morning shall behold
On feet and plumes of gold
My spirit soon enfold
The flocks on heaven’s steep.
Refreshed, encouraged, lightened,
Sent on the Way
Whose Sun and Star have brightened
From dawning into day,
I set my face, a flint,
Toward where the holy glint
Of lamps affords the hint
That leads me—where it may.
