Go to thy rest. A quiet bed

Meek mother, earth with flowers shall spread,

Where I no more thy sleep may break

With fever'd dream, nor rudely wake

Thy wearied eye.

Oh, quit thy hold,

For thou art faint, and chill, and cold,

And long thy gasp and groan of pain

Have bound me pitying in thy chain,

Though angels urge me hence to soar,
