Good night my child,
may the angels
feather your bed
and your dreams;
be of peace,
with the gentle spirits
of those who've
gone before
that we might
now enjoy the fruits
of their labor
as well as ours.

So as the night closes
the windows and doors;
the evening bell tolls
for all it is time,
to kneel in prayer.

May the blessings
of angels attend
to you my child
in peaceful sleep
keeping you from harm
till in the morning
you again arise.
