- CIV O Let Me Climb
CIV O let me climb
When I lie down! The pious soul by night
Is like a clouded star, whose beams, though said
To shed their light
Under some cloud,
Yet are above,
And shine and move
Beyond that misty shroud.
So in my bed,
-- That curtain'd grave, -- though sleep, like ashes, hide
My lamp and life, -- both shall in Thee abide.
