Selected Essays Of Robert Louis Stevenson

The day returns and brings us the petty round of irritating
concerns and duties. Help us to play the man, kelp us
to perform them with laughter and kind faces. Give
us to go blithely on our business all this day, bring us to
our resting beds weary and content and undishonoured,
and grant us in the end the gift of sleep.
