LY hence,
shadows, that do keepWatchful sorrows charm'd in sleep!
Tho' the eyes be overtaken,
Yet the heart doth ever waken
Thoughts chain'd up in busy snares
Of continual woes and cares:
Love and griefs are so exprest
As they rather sigh than rest.
Fly hence, shadows, that do keep
Watchful sorrows charm'd in sleep!
-- John Ford (1586-1639)
I just recently started setting my alarm for roughly an hour before Atticus (usually!) wakes up so I could do my bible reading and prayers before anyone else woke up. Once I actually get out of bed it's great!
