Robert Herrick - To His Sweet SaviourRobert Herrick - To His Sweet Saviour
Work rating: Low


Night hath no wings, to him that cannot sleep; And Time seems then, not for to fly, but creep; Slowly her chariot drives as if that she Had broke her wheel, or crackt her axletree. Just so it is with me who, list`ning, pray The winds to blow the tedious night away, That I might see the cheerful peeping day. Sick is my heart; O Saviour! do Thou please To make my bed soft in my sicknesses; Lighten my candle, so that I beneath Sleep not for ever in the vaults of death; Let me Thy voice betimes i`th` morning hear; Call, and I`ll come; say Thou the when and where; Draw me but first, and after Thee I`ll run, And make no one stop, till my race be done.
