Calm now, hush oh’ trembling heart
hear murmur soft of cloudless night,
wander not with malaise, nor waltz
with gloom; through dismal, dreary
path there glimmers beacon of light.
I dream of mallow fields, (blooming)
shades oh’ periwinkle and red, swirl
along-with breeze, chance encounter
with faith.
Calm now, hush oh’ wavering heart
hear murmur bold of roseate morn,
loiter not with despair, nor pirouette
with blues; through desolate, dingy
path there glimmers beacon of light.
I dream of mallow fields, (blooming)
shades oh’ periwinkle and red, swirl
along-with breeze, chance encounter
with faith.

William Cowper.
