Southern Fields

Rouse me not while I am sleeping,

see the darkened shadows creeping,

hear the windblown willows weeping,

fields of cotton ripe for reaping.


Notice how the floors need sweeping,

apathetic toward housekeeping,

leave me be while I am sleeping,

to other realms my soul is leaping.
