- The prayers I was taught when I was young were the prayers going to bed and the prayer in the mornings. This is a night prayer."There are four corners in my bed.
There are four angels overhead,
Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John,
God bless the bed that I lay on."This is a prayer which should be said going through life."Death shall come to seek me.
A short half hour ere day,
And for each guileful action,
H'ell make me dearly pay.
In the death room lying lonely
With the brown shroud round me only,
How gladly I'd do penance if then I had the way."- Collector
