let me be! just let me be!
beating this fever down on me!
let marrow fall to sooth pain,
don’t veer my simple dreams insane!
let me be! just let me be!
under God’s reign i’m still not free!
i just wish to be in peace,
let my Lord’s ancient hymns decease!
let me be! just let me be!
fade Apollo to dusk at sea.
set spirits free of law’s might,
and let night’s vision hold delight.
