SWEET SLEEP.

SWEET SLEEP.
All hail thee Sweet sleep,
Oh, haven of rest;
Ye surcease of sorrows and woes
Whene' er we indulge
We're a thousand times blest,
As we lapse into silent repose-
When the day has been sad
And the blackness of night,
Brings no promise of soothing balrns
Like zephyrs that watt
Sweet perfumes as a mite,
Ye bring me to seas that are calm.
In dreamland glide
Through forests of flowers,
By the waters of crystal streams,
Then to faces I knew
In childhood's bright hours,
On and on where glad birds sing theiI
themes.
Oh could I awaken
And know that the past,
My thoughts ne'er besieging with woes
Were all blotted out,
Save the good that must last
That the future would harbor no foes.
