Lyrics: John Aikin
Come gentle god of soft repose,
Come soothe this tortur'd breast.
Shed kind oblivion o'er my woes
And lull my cares to rest.
Come gentle god, without thy aid
I sink in dark despair,
O wrap me in thy silent shade
For peace is only there.
Let hope in some propitious dream
her bright illusions spread,
Once more let rays of comfort beam
Around my drooping head.
O quickly send thy kind relief,
These heart-felt pangs remove,
Let me forget myself and grief
And ev'ry care but love.
Come gentle god of soft repose,
Come soothe this tortur'd breast.
Shed kind oblivion o'er my woes
And lull my cares to rest.
Come gentle god, without thy aid
I sink in dark despair,
O wrap me in thy silent shade
For peace is only there.
Let hope in some propitious dream
her bright illusions spread,
Once more let rays of comfort beam
Around my drooping head.
O quickly send thy kind relief,
These heart-felt pangs remove,
Let me forget myself and grief
And ev'ry care but love.
