Of idle hopes and fancies wild,
O Father, dispossess Thy child;
Teach me that wasted thought is sin,
Teach me to rule this world within.
While waking dreams the mind control,
There is no growth in this poor soul;
And visions hold me back from deeds,
And earth is dear, and heaven recedes.
Oh, with one flash of heavenly light
Rouse me, although with pain and fright;
Show me the sin of wasted powers;
Scourge me from useless, dreaming hours.
