Be Music, Night

                                                                                        Be Music, Night
                                                                                                    That her sleep may go Where angels have their
                                                                                                    pale tall choirs

                                                                                        Be a hand, sea
                                                                            That her dreams may watch Thy guidesman touching
                                                                                                    the green flesh of the world
