Be near me when my light is low,
When the blood creeps, and the nerves prick
And tingle; and the heart is sick,
And all the wheels if Being slow.


{{Text|English}}
Be near me when the sensuous frame
Is rack'd with pangs that conquer trust;
And Time, a maniac scattering dust,
And life, a Fury slinging flame.


<br>
Be near me when my faith is dry,
Be near me when my light is low,<br>
And men the flies of latter spring,
When the blood creeps, and the nerves prick<br>
That lay their eggs, and sting and sing
And tingle; and the heart is sick,<br>
And weave their petty cells and die.
And all the wheels if Being slow.<br>
<br>
Be near me when the sensuous frame<br>
Is rack'd with pangs that conquer trust;<br>
And Time, a maniac scattering dust,<br>
And life, a Fury slinging flame.<br>
<br>
Be near me when my faith is dry,<br>
And men the flies of latter spring,<br>
That lay their eggs, and sting and sing<br>
And weave their petty cells and die.<br>
<br>
Be near me when I fade away,<br>
To point the term of human strife,<br>
And on the low dark verge of life<br>
The twilight of eternal day.<br>
<br>


Be near me when I fade away,
To point the term of human strife,
And on the low dark verge of life
The twilight of eternal day.}}

Be near me when my light is low,
When the blood creeps, and the nerves prick
And tingle; and the heart is sick,
And all the wheels if Being slow.

Be near me when the sensuous frame
Is rack'd with pangs that conquer trust;
And Time, a maniac scattering dust,
And life, a Fury slinging flame.

Be near me when my faith is dry,
And men the flies of latter spring,
That lay their eggs, and sting and sing
And weave their petty cells and die.

Be near me when I fade away,
To point the term of human strife,
And on the low dark verge of life
The twilight of eternal day.
