A Prayer

(When going to bed)

There are four corners on my bed. There are four angels overhead. St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. James, St John. God bless me in this bed I lie on.
(When in bed)
I have a little prayer I told it to Mary, Mary told it to Jesus, Jesus told it to God, God said it was good, Jesus be the Branch, Mary be the Flower, God bless me in this bed and my last dying hour.
