O'Sweet Immutable Night
O'Sweet immutable night, come and embrace me, for it is because of great vexation that I have communed with my heart and soul.
O'Sweet immutable night, it is with true sorrow of the iniquity and vanity done under the sun that I seek the comfort of the night to be consoled.
O'Sweet immutable night for it is my languishing heart that I wish to escape the pollution of the evil inflicted spoils of mankind.
O'Sweet immutable night, propitiate my mangled mind.
O'Sweet immutable night, let not my weary soul be susceptible to the failings of another day of limitless debauchery.
O'Sweet immutable night, I beseech you to claim my yearning spirit with your compelling offer of release so that in my inwardly pining I will be free.
O'Sweet immutable night, let not my flesh again feel the burning desires of the sun.
O'Sweet immutable night, let not my eyes see, nor my ears hear the suffering of the weak in this world of rigorous agony being spun.
O'Sweet immutable night, let my burning compassion for justice cool under the unceasing comfort of generosity.
O'Sweet immutable night, let not another day that my body be a sapling bending to the implacable winds of injustice and atrocity.
O'Sweet immutable night, let the flesh of my body fall to the dry earth and not under the sun.
O'Sweet immutable night, let it be done let it be done.
O'Sweet immutable night, let not the memories of affliction impede me from this good night.
O'Sweet immutable night, let me rest here for the sunder of the holy rapture and the holy night.
