"Falling Asleep" (1854)
A poem by Caroline Leakey (1827-1881)
[Original English version]

Fading, fading into mistiness,
A sweet half-conscious blessedness
  Of love and loved ones round;
A murm'ring yet a soothing sound
  Of pleasant voices falling:
Dropping asleep beneath a song of love.
To waken — singing it above,
  Upon a Father's breast!
Bright angel forms, and faces blest —
  Happy cherubs clustering!
And only thus awakening to know
Of having fallen asleep! So may I go,
  And so awaken!
