Close, Close thine eyes
And listen to the quiet,
For, therein is the sweetness
Of My whisper.

Close, Close thine eyes,
To shut out worldly vision,
For when blindness is chosen,
The choice is to see.

Close, Close thine eyes,
And fall ye sleeping to
This mortal world,
For in dreams
Shall thee awaken unto me.

Close, Close thine eyes,
To practice for that hallowed day
That first death shall seal them shut.

Close, Close thine eyes
And come ye softly home.

Close, Close thine eyes,

Close, Close,

Close
