A Prayer Before Bed

Lord, grant us, in Your mercy,
The great gift of blessed sleep.
Let the grackle make no racket,
And the warbler make no peep.

Let the darkness enter gently,
And the daylight vanish West.
Let the dew and dreams descend, and
Give us all a blessed rest.

I enjoy your poems, Remainderman. (I will have to look up "grackle," though!)
