A CALL TO SLUMBER
Come sleep
Let my eyes
To the world
Close...
It's taciturn face
Let me see no more...
Envelope me
In bright dark
That my dreams
Might make my
Heart laugh!
Overpower me
King of unwaking
Draught
Let me drink deep
Of you
And never again
Thirst...
For thirsting
Makes me weak
As I long
Of the fount of
Love
To endlessly sip...
I am still
Awake
Why, oh why
I ask
Quiet and desperate!
Confused, my mindless
Heart wanders
The streets of
The past...
My ever thinking
Mind reels
I do not
Want to feel unless
It is l
Painless feels!
Come slumber
With open arms...
Embrace my life
Show me
Your charms...
I reckon
They are better
Than all I have
Thus far known...
They shall render
Me happy
When I, my eyes
Never to open
Close...
Come, comfort me
Embrace this life
Who willingly
Surrenders
To an endless night...!
