Sleep
Sleep
As evening shadows setting sun,
Dark night, relentless, spreads.
When daylight hours are done
Sleep stirs in her secret bed.
Dark night, relentless, spreads
Where Intellect, a foreigner, strays.
Sleep stirs in her secret bed,
Unfettered, imagination plays.
Where Intellect, a foreigner, strays
Morpheus wakes in the sleeping mind,
Unfettered, imagination plays.
Ancient spectres stalk the land.
Morpheus wakes in the sleeping mind
When daylight hours are done.
Ancient spectres stalk the land
As evening shadows setting sun.
