SLEEP

A blessed ministrant to burdened life
OF sweet relief from toll and care,
From poisoned shafts Of greed and strife,
From treacherous minions Of the air,
Which float above, around, within,
Well stored with mingled 10y and grief,
And barbed arrow points Of sin
From these sleep gives q sweet relief.
And, though the moments quickly hcet
A wearied soul oft lives anew,
To meet and know, to feel and SEQ
The false the stronger than tho true.
Brief come the moments Of sweet peace
At thought Of vigils long and deep
In sacred promise at release,
"Tho mystery Of folded sleep."
