| By William Sharp (1856–1902) |
| LAY me to sleep in sheltering flame, | |
| O Master of the Hidden Fire! | |
| Wash pure my heart, and cleanse for me | |
| My soul’s desire. | |
| In flame of sunrise bathe my mind, | 5 |
| O Master of the Hidden Fire, | |
| That, when I wake, clear-eyed may be | |
| My soul’s desire. |
