Awake
Sleep for me
no friend is
and coming night
to soon be
and the day
too short to ‘tis
that at its end
I need not rest
and the night
too long is
much more than I
do ever need
when to bed
I do go
and the clock
I do stare
till at last
for hours few
darkness is
and dreams reign
quick I awake
refreshed not
without need
one sleep more
I arise
in the night
to go forth
and await the day
