“As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear”
Whaler (1994), As I Lay Me Down
Context: As I lay me down to sleep
This I pray
That you will hold me dear
Though I'm far away
I'll whisper your name into the sky
And I will wake up happy
Try Me, from Please Please Please (album) (1959)
Song lyrics
“My complaint won't hold for ninety days. I accuse you people of eating men.”
Source: Space Chantey (1968), Ch. 5
Context: "Strangers may not lodge complaints till they have been in residence here for ninety days," the Cacique said, "and no stranger has ever remained with us that long."
"My complaint won't hold for ninety days. I accuse you people of eating men."
“Never think that God's delays are God's denials. Hold on; hold fast; hold out. Patience is genius.”
As quoted in New Cyclopædia of Illustrations (1870) by Elon Foster, p. 492
