1. Let me sleep a moment, O worries
For dawn is about to rise

2. And morning is piercing through the darkness
Yet my heart has not consented to slumber

3. Let me, let me sleep a nap
Perhaps I may find a pleasant dream

4. Let me look upon the morning
While still in my distressing insomnia

5. And still my bed tires me
And my tossing and turning grieves me

6. May God be with you, O night of memories
And for me, what a bitter and frightening affair!
