O Wake in Me XLIX.

When all the World has gone to rest,

O Wake in Me!

When tired Eyes close by Sleep opprest,

O Wake in Me!

When Eyes in Heaven all sleepless watch

with Starry gaze,

Make my blind Orbs thy Home as Guest,

O Wake in Me!

When all my outer Gates of Sense,

are shut and bar'd;

Lest, lone, my Soul be fear-possest,

O Wake in Me!

That no grim Power of Darkness through

the Gloom around,

My deeper Peace and Calm molest,

O Wake in Me!

From Eden's Garden still soft blown,

That fragrant Air

The healing Tree of Life attest,

O Wake in Me!

That once, at least in Dream, Life's Good

be here attained,

The Heart no more by pain distrest,

O Wake in Me!

In the moist Midnight dank and drear,

where Shadows creep,

Lest Passions vile my Heart infest,

O Wake in Me!

And when Life's Night is gone, and Love's

new dawning Smile

Woos me for ever to thy Breast,

O Wake in Me!
