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.
