Sleep

Sleep, blessed sleep

Take me in your arm

O, solitary rest giver

Protect me from harm

 

Draw closer to me

And envelop me thus

You need no fanfare

You don’t need to fuss

 

O, for the refuge

That is found in sleep

Layer upon layer

Sleep does heap

 

While from inside

Fresh energy hums

And satisfaction too

At long last comes

 

Blessed oblivion

Which brings back power

Always refreshes me

Hour by hour
