Sleep Well My Sweet

Sleep Well My Sweet


I have but now to talk of dreams,
And Lover's love of what it seems.
Not of truth, but lies I speak,
Out of favor, love is weak.

If brawling love makes loving hate,
What, then, dust thou dost create?
Parting not, is sorrow sweet?
In parting thus, a freezing heat.

Love starts no deeper than one's eye - 
Star-crossed choice : do or die,
This tangled web that we are weaving,
-A heartless effort in deceiving!

Still walking sleeps that cease to end,
Oppressions tears, that pretend-
Provoked madness, most discreet...
In groaning sadness, "Sleep well, My Sweet."
