PRAYER by SILAS WEIR MITCHELL

First Line: WHEN THE DAY IS GROWING OLD
Last Line: SHEPHERDED BY QUIET PRAYER.
Subject(s): GOD; PRAYER; SLEEP;
WHEN the day is growing old
And the stars their vigils keep,
Lo, a gentle voice within
Calling to the fold of sleep.

Whither, thither, know I not:
His the silence, His the care,
When my soul is called to rest,
Shepherded by quiet prayer.
