Excerpt from The Faith of Reason: A Series of Discourses on the Leading Topics of Religion
My darling boy, kissed but a moment since,
And laid away all rosy in the dark
Is talking to himself. What does he say?
Not much, in truth, that I can understand;
But now and then, among the pretty sounds
That he is making, falls upon my ear
My name. And then the sand-man softly comes
Upon him and he sleeps.
And what am I,
Here in my book, but as a little child
Trying to cheer the big and silent dark
With foolish words? But listen, O, my God,
My Father, and among them thou shalt hear
Thy name. And soon I too shall sleep.
When I awake I shall be still with thee.
