My prayer for you
Language: English
Mist and the waking morn Over the lea, Light and the glowing sky, Wind from the sea. Dawn, and the radiant sun Gilding the blue, All my thoughts fly away, Dearest, to you. Night, and the setting sun, Day dies away. Dear, where I watch afar, Softly 1 pray; So while the silent moon Sheds her calm light, God will watch over you All through the night.
