Just before my eyes fall sleep


Just before my eyes fall sleep
I linger much on you my sweet.


How deeply grained
Etched tenderly on my heart 
A gentle smile does beam my face.


But this and this alone I cannot bare
To know you sleep with a forlorn gown.
  
I must at once share your bed 
But settle I must to my post right here.


O for distance that terrible foe 
Will thee not shorten to be my friend. 


That I may comfort and fight her fears!


Just before my eyes fall sleep
I linger much on you my sweet.

O, Lord of mercy

 O, Lord of mercy Mercy me in my distress! My heart has gone far from you And your light of peace Has escaped my soul! O, bitter is the gall...
