Sweetheart, Sleep!

Sweetheart, Sleep!
Sweetheart. sleep; Night spreads her pail
Over the silent town.
And the far-off tide is musical
Where the little lines of breakers fan,
And the weary sun goes down.
Sleep, OH sleep! for the world reposes;
Droop your head like the tired roses:
Dream till the daffodl dawn uncloses
Over. the sleepless sea.
White birds drift to their dizzy nest
Safe ON the hearland steep;
God 8 great rose is pale in the west,
Nv little rose must sink to rest
And flower in the land sleep.
Sleep. for the wind Of night is blowing
Echoes faint of the cattle lowing.
Drowsy scents of the long days moving,
Over the hills to me.
Now the moon like silver ship
Steers through the starry sky;
And the lighthouse at the harhor's lip.
Where the clammy seaweeds cling and
drip,
Winks with his fierce red eye.
Sleep, OH sleep: in the magic cleaning
Glide to the land where the elves are
roaming;
Wake when the sun flames over the
foaming,
Splendid spray of sea!
