Anne Bradstreet - By Night when Others Soundly Slept
Work rating: Medium

    By night when others soundly slept
     And hath at once both ease and Rest, 
     My waking eyes were open kept
     And so to lie I found it best. 
 
     I sought him whom my Soul did Love,
     With tears I sought him earnestly. 
     He bow`d his ear down from Above.
     In vain I did not seek or cry. 
 
     My hungry Soul he fill`d with Good;
    He in his Bottle put my tears, 
    My smarting wounds washt in his blood, 
    And banisht thence my Doubts and fears. 
 
    What to my Saviour shall I give 
    Who freely hath done this for me?
    I`ll serve him here whilst I shall live
    And Love him to Eternity.
