## The words

Sleep, weary heart, May nothing more torment  
thee. Sleep and for– get the burden of the  
day, Sleep and for – get how much there has been  
reft thee. Oh, sweet rose petals scattered by  
the way!  
Only, dear love, in sweet and blessed dreams,  
A vision of the happiness and love that fled  
May come to thee Towards the dawn of morning  
Chasing away the darkness, fear and dread.  
The sacred fires of love shall flash a– broad,  
Scatt’ring the darkness of the night,  
Flaming to eastward where the morning Dawns  
in a flood of light, Dawns in a golden flood,  
a golden flood of light.
