Sleep, love, sleepi
The dusty day is done.
Lof from afar the freshning breezea sweep
Wide over tie groves of balm.
Down from the towering palm,
In at the open easement cooling run,
And ros,adthy lowly bed,
Thy bed of pain.
Bathing thy patient head,
Like grateful showers of rain,
They come;
While the sick curtains, waving to and fro,
Fan the sick air;s
And plying the shadows come and go,
With gentle human care.
Compassionate and dumb.
The dusty day is done,
The night begun;
While prayerful watch keep,
Sleep. love, sleep!
Is there magic in the touch
Of fingers thou dost love much?
Fain would they scatter poppies DER thee now,
Or with soft caress.
The tremulous lip its nepenthe press
Upon the weary lid ard aching brow.
While prayerful watch keep,
Sleep lovey seepr
On the pagoda spire
The bells are swinging
Their httie golden circles in Autter,
With tales the woong winds have dared to utter
Till they are ringing
As is choir
Of golden-nested birds in heaven were singing
And with 1ulhng sound
The musfs Goats around,
And drops like balm into the drowsy ear
Commingling with the hum
OF the Sepoys distant drum,
And lazy beetle eyer droning near,
Sounds these of deepest silence born,
Eike night made visible by morn;
So silent, that sometimes start
To hear the throbbing of my heart,
And watch with shivering sense of pain,
To see thy pale lids lift again.
The lizard with his mouse-like eyes,
Poems from the mortise in surprise
At such strange quiet after days harsh din;
Then ventures boldly out,
And looks about,
And with his hollow feet
Treads his small evening beat,
Darling upon his prey
In such trickey, winsome sort of way,
His delicate marauding seems sin;
And still the curtains swing
But noise1ossly;
The bells melancholy murmuring,
As tears were in the sky;
More heavily the shadows fall,
Like the black foldiugs of pail.
Where juts the rough beam from the wall,
The candles flare
With fresher gusts of air;
The beetles drone
Turns to drgelike, solitary moan
Night deepens, and sit in cherries doubt alone.
