Be still my soul
The calmest wind blows
The breath of life
Another passion kindles

Be still my soul
The senses hear every sound
And in nature sweet colloquy be found
Why the trivial my attention vies
If bemoanings tune tomorrow's lullaby

Be still my soul
Expectations are ghouls
Menacing notions in the dark of night
A wistful doppelganger; he vanishes
For the inevitable sunrise

Be still my soul
Forbid the devil's trill compel thee to act
Rather patience combine thy powers
Pari passu
And by and by

Be still my soul
Deceit scarifies the heart
Yet for grace
Honesty ages the soul
In kind

Be still my soul
Happiness is cast by slight degrees
The provocation of flux
Need only a moment of balance

Be still my soul
If some gift so merry
Thought you'd make
The lessons to glean
Mayhap better to take
