In the Stillness of Night

In the darkness of night
Such stillness... and silence
Oft my mind fills with light
And impressions of the highest

How sweet it is to sleep
After having said my prayer
My rest is truly deep
Giving to God my cares

Then...the alarm and news
Starts the noise of day
Every morning I choose
To leap and forget to pray

How can each day go by
Unlinked to the next
My thoughtlessness does try
And ever disconnects
