Now I Lay Me
Now I lay me down to sleep
my fingers are cold, as are my feet
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
my family and friends around me weep
If I should die before I wake
dreams and plans I didn’t make
I pray the Lord my soul to take
I was the girl of hidden fires,
icy glaciers and crystal spires
The drop of dew, caressing the rose,
the torment of wonder, the wails of woes
I left much behind, and have much ahead
I died as I lived, I made my own bed
