Master of English novel has rarely written this hymn supposed to be prayed before going to bed just like an elderly child! Wonderful poem to read!

Dickens is one of the best human's that ever lived! His poems and stories helped the rich victorians develop a better attitude concerning the filthy poor. Great and gentle poem
