Another day its course hath run, <br />And still, O God, thy child is blessed; <br />For thou hast been by day my sun, <br />And thou wilt be by night my rest. <br /> <br /> <br />Sweet sleep descends, my eyes to close; <br />And now, while all the world is still, <br />I give my body to repose, <br />My spirit to my Father's will.<br /><br />John Pierpont<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/evening-prayer-for-a-child/
