                         Oh, winds of night
                  that softly sighs and soothes 
           my skin. Stay with me, why don't you?
             Cool and swoosh away disquietudes
             that might perturb my restful sleep.
         Do away with anxious thoughts gradually
          piling up in a heap, forming a mountain
           in my mind. You see, it's much too big 
                        to hold in all at once.
                         Drive them all out...
                         out of the window
           Let all my worries of the day drift away 
        with you. Do dissolve these white elephants
         in the midnight sky, or scatter them at sea.
              They're no longer useful to me now.
          Blow all my worn-out concerns of the day
               far, far away, so I can count sheep
        and rise with the sun with immaculate mind.
       Steal away everything, but my lovely dream.
