Be music, night
That her sleep may go
Where angels have their pale tall choirs
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
Thy guidesman touching the green flesh of the world
Be a voice, sky,
And the stars will tilt their quiet faces
Into the mirror of her loveliness
Into the mirror of her loveliness
Be a road, earth,
That her walking may take thee
Where the towns of heaven lift their breathing spires
Where the towns of heaven lift their breathing spires
O be a world and a throne, God,
That her living may find its weather
And the souls of ancient bells in a child's book
Shall lead her into Thy wondrous house
And the souls of ancient bells in a child's book
Shall lead her into Thy wondrous house
