Sleep Away Thy Days of Strife

Sleep Away Thy Days Of Strife

Sleep away thy days of strife 
Dream once more of a better life
Hope springs eternal we’ve been told
But the wolves at the door grow more bold
Pray spring wilt end the winters glower
And return once more the flowery bower
That once with butterflies arrayed 
Now seem mostly gone on summer days
And nightingales rarely sing in the evening hour
So sleep away thy days of strife and 
Dream once more of a better life
