TO SLEEP.
Come Sleep, and kiss mine eyelids down;
Let me forget
Hope 's treachery, and Fortune 's frown,
And Life 's vain fret.
Let me forget
Hope 's treachery, and Fortune 's frown,
And Life 's vain fret.
And would you hold me fast, dear Sleep,
I need not wake,
Since they wake not who used to weep
For my poor sake.
I need not wake,
Since they wake not who used to weep
For my poor sake.
