Vaughan Phrasis When the World Sleeps- Recited

WHEN THE WORLD SLEEPS This man Christ,very God and very man,this great design and ‘til the end of time,to make all sinners ‘mine’. To commemorate this sacrifice this glorious sacrament, a preparation daye, a solemne Feast of mercy and miracles.Pledges of Thy love, sacred institutions regularly to be said, of prayer and meditation,lest they wither away, dead, with time.When all the world is asleep we should’st watch upon the Day-lilie of life as if the sun were already set.When all is gone,and all is dust, deformity ,desolation and stress.Keep me Lord from hours, and the powers, of the darknesse. From Henry Vaughan’s Solitary Desolations *A Phrasis is a structured verse where the poet uses selected prose phrases of another writer’s(not a poet) to compile unique poetry therefrom as a tribute thereto,the word phrasis is Greek for phrase. Listen to me read this phrasis of mine on youtube under the name ichthyschiro
