Goodnight. and pleasant dreams 10
YOU
May all the stars that throng
The midnight sky's serenest blue.
Repeat the old-time song
They sang at the Creations birth;
And may the elves and fays
lnha biting the air and earth.
Rehearse their roundelays.
The bark OF sleep. by pleasant shores,
hope will speed along.
With muffied music OF the oars,
And pipes whose soothing song
Is played by fingers whose intent
Is but 10 bind the charm
or drowsy peoples softly bent
Above your snowy arm.
Not CleopatTa's fairy bark
Fulfils my souls design.
Whose fancy builds the fairest ark
To cross sleeps shaded brine
And when In dreams your eyes review
The food that stretches round,
The dove once freed will bring TO you
A love no words can bound.
Your sails now darken down the West.
And round the curving foam.
While sleep has kissed your eyes 10
rest,
MY boat is speeding home;
One theme my fancy will pursue,
Till morning sweetly beams;
] watt its burdens now TO you.
Goodnight. and pleasant dreams,"
