Look before you leap (Villanell)
- Pray Before You Sleep.
- Look before you leap.
- Know what you need to know.
- Pray before you sleep.
- Roots of sin run deep.
- You reap the harvest sown.
- Look before you leap.
- In your dreams they creep,
- into your heart they grow.
- Pray before you sleep.
- Cliffs of choice are steep,
- the winds of change may blow.
- Look before you leap.
- Don't gnash teeth and weep,
- with Satan down below.
- Pray before you sleep.
- Ask the Lord to keep,
- control of your sweet soul.
- Look before you leap.
- Pray before you sleep.
- By Jove !
