Sleep, love, sleepl
The dusty day is done.
Lo From afar the freshening breezcs sweep
Wide over groves of palm,
Down from the towering palm,
In at the open easement cooling run,
And round thy lowly bed,
Thy bed of pain,
Bathing thy patient head
Like grateful showers Of rain,
They come
While the white curtains, waving to and fro
Fan the sick air;
And lityingly the shadows come and go,
With gentle human care,
Compassionate and dumb.
The dusty day is done,
The night begun
While prayeriul watch | keep,
Sleep, love, sleep!
Is there no magic in the touch
OF fingers thou dost love SO much
Fam would they scatter popples Ger thee now
Or, with Its mute caress,
The treniuous hp some soft nepen the press
Upon thy weary lid and acning brow
While prayeriul watch keep
Sleep, love, sleep.
On the Pagoda spire,
The bells are swinging,
Their little GOLDEN circle in a fiutter
With tales the woolng winds have dared to ut
ter,
Till all are ringing,
AS If Il choir
OF golden nested birds in heaven were singing
Aud with lulling sound
The music floats around
And drops like balm into the drowsy ear
Commingling with the hum
OF the Sepoy distant drum,
And lazy beetle ever dronlng near,
Sounds these of deepest silence bora

Then boldly ventures out,
And looks about,
And with his hollow feet

And sull the curtains swing,
But nolselessly

As tears were in the SKY
More heavily the shadows fall,
