Come Sleep, Oh Sleep

 

Come sleep, oh sleep, surreptitiously

Come sleep, oh sleep, surreptitiously

tiptoeing unnoticed, slip into my room

tiptoeing unnoticed, slip into my room

Sleep come into my room, tiptoeing slip,

unnoticed, surreptitiously, sleep come

 

With quiet arms and gentle hands

With quiet arms and gentle hands

And soft lips like a summer breeze

And soft lips like a summer breeze

Gentle, summer with quiet arms,

And lips, hands like and breeze

 

My rest is where your embrace is

My rest is where your embrace is

And your palm is where I am safe

And your palm is where I am safe

Where is your palm? Where my rest?

Am I safe? Is I and your embrace!

 

Your quiet arms are a summer breeze

Your gentle hands soft and safe

Surreptitiously and unnoticed sleep

Is my rest like lips embrace?

Your palm and sleep come

where I am; slip into my room
