The early poems of John Clare | ||
[Sweet sleep & peace good night]
Sweet sleep & peace good nightIve oft had cause to bless thy soothing reign
& if Im blessd to live till Mornings light
& welcome thee again
Ill well know how to value thee
& prove the sweets of pleasure after rain
373
Blanketed in sleep from the Earths cold damp
Dreaming of her I love—Alas its vain
I fear my last repose is with the slain
Sweet sleep & peace good night
