"When I lay myself to sleep pray
that I don't go too deep"
A reference to the prayer "Now
I may me down to sleep. I pray the Lord my soul to keep. And
if I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take".
This is not, I believe, from the Bible, but is probably in the
Book of Common Prayer. [Dan
Nooter] * See also 9-9.
