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 !
