Whom, in the darkness, do I seek,

O God, but thee?

2 And if there weigh upon my breast,

Vague memories of the day foregone,

Scarce knowing why, I fly to thee,

And lay them down.

3 Or, if it be the gloom that comes,

In token of impending ill,

My bosom heeds not what it is,

Since ’tis thy will.
