Dear Night! This world\u2019s defeat;<\/p>\n
The stop to busy fool; care\u2019s check and curb;<\/p>\n
The day of spirits; my soul\u2019s calm retreat<\/p>\n
Which none disturb!<\/p>\n
Christ\u2019s progress, and His prayer-time;<\/p>\n
The hours to which high Heaven doth chime.273<\/p>\n
In Peace, st. I,<\/i> Henry Vaughan wrote:<\/p>\n
My soul, there is a country<\/p>\n
Far beyond the stars<\/p>\n
Where stands a winged sentry<\/p>\n
All skillful in the wars:<\/p>\n
There, above noise and danger,<\/p>\n
Sweet Peace is crowned with smiles,<\/p>\n
And One born in a manger<\/p>\n
Commands the beauteous files.274<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
