I	A
	-
When round the earth the Father's hands	B
Have gently drawn the dark	C
Sent off the sun to fresher lands	B
And curtained in the lark	C
'Tis sweet all tired with glowing day	D
To fade with fading light	E
And lie once more the old weary way	D
Upfolded in the night	E
	-
If mothers o'er our slumbers bend	F
And unripe kisses reap	G
In soothing dreams with sleep they blend	F
Till even in dreams we sleep	G
And if we wake while night is dumb	H
'Tis sweet to turn and say	D
It is an hour ere dawning come	H
And I will sleep till day	D
	-
II	A
	-
There is a dearer warmer bed	I
Where one all day may lie	A
Earth's bosom pillowing the head	I
And let the world go by	A
There come no watching mother's eyes	J
The stars instead look down	K
Upon it breaks and silent dies	J
The murmur of the town	K
	-
The great world shouting forward fares	L
This chamber hid from none	M
Hides safe from all for no one cares	L
For him whose work is done	M
Cheer thee my friend bethink thee how	N
A certain unknown place	O
Or here or there is waiting now	N
To rest thee from thy race	O
	-
III	A
	-
Nay nay not there the rest from harms	P
The still composed breath	Q
Not there the folding of the arms	P
The cool the blessed death	Q
That needs no curtained bed to hide	R
The world with all its wars	S
No grassy cover to divide	R
From sun and moon and stars	T
	-
It is a rest that deeper grows	U
In midst of pain and strife	V
A mighty conscious willed repose	U
The death of deepest life	V
To have and hold the precious prize	J
No need of jealous bars	T
But windows open to the skies	J
And skill to read the stars	T
	-
IV	V
	-
Who dwelleth in that secret place	O
Where tumult enters not	W
Is never cold with terror base	O
Never with anger hot	W
For if an evil host should dare	X
His very heart invest	Y
God is his deeper heart and there	X
He enters in to rest	Y
	-
When mighty sea winds madly blow	Z
And tear the scattered waves	A2
Peaceful as summer woods below	Z
Lie darkling ocean caves	A2
The wind of words may toss my heart	B2
But what is that to me	C2
Tis but a surface storm thou art	B2
My deep still resting sea	C2
