+ + _Richard Le Gallienne_. + + + + + XXX. + + A flock of sheep that leisurely pass by + One after one; the sound of rain, and bees + Murmuring; the fall of rivers, winds and seas, + Smooth fields, white sheets of water and pure sky + I have thought of all by turns and yet do lie + Sleepless! + + * * * * * + + Come, blessed barrier between day and day. + Dear mother of fresh thoughts and joyous health! + + _William Wordsworth_. + + + + + XXXI. + + Sleep is a reconciling, + + A rest that peace begets; + Does not the sun rise smiling + When fair at eve he sets' + + _Anonymous_. + + + + + XXXII. + + The cloud-shadows of midnight possess their own + repose, + The weary winds are silent or the moon is in the + deep; + Some respite to its turbulence unresting ocean + knows; + + Whatever moves, or toils, or grieves, hath its + appointed sleep. + + _Percy Bysshe Shelley_. + + + + + XXXIII. + + We lay + Stretched upon fragrant heath and lulled by sound + Of far-off torrents charming the still night, + To tired limbs and over-busy thoughts + Inviting sleep and soft forgetfulness. + + _William Wordsworth_. + + + + + XXXIV. + + There is sweet music here that softer falls + Than petals from blown roses on the grass, + Or night-dews on still waters between walls + Of shadowy granite, in a gleaming pass; + Music that gentlier on the spirit lies + Than tired eye-lids upon tired eyes; + Music that brings sweet sleep down from the blissful skies. + Here are cool mosses deep, + And thro' the mass the ivies creep, + And in the stream the long-leaved flowers weep. + And from the craggy ledge the poppy hangs in sleep. + + _Alfred Tennyson_. + + + + + XXXV. + + I went into the deserts of dim sleep-- + That world which, like an unknown wilderness, + Bounds this with its recesses wide and deep + + _Percy Bysshe Shelley_. + + + + + XXXVI. + + Oh, Morpheus, my more than love, my life, + Come back to me, come back to me! Hold out + Your wonderful, wide arms and gather me + Again against your breast. I lay above + Your heart and felt its breathing firm and slow + As waters that obey the moon and lo, + Rest infinite was mine and calm. My soul + Is sick for want of you. Oh, Morpheus, + Heart of my weary heart, come back to me! + + _Leolyn Louise Everett_. + + + + + XXXVII. + + Lips + Parted in slumber, whence the regular breath + Of innocent dreams arose. + + _Percy Bysshe Shelley_. + + + + + XXXVIII. + + A late lark twitters in the quiet skies; + And from the west, + Where the sun, his day's work ended, + Lingers in content, + There falls on the old, gray city + An influence luminous and serene, + A shining peace. + + The smoke ascends + In a rosy-and-golden haze. The spires + Shine, and are changed. In the valley + Shadows rise. The lark sings on. The sun, + Closing his benediction, + Sinks, and the darkening air + Thrills with a sense of the triumphing night-- + Night with her train of stars + And her great gift of sleep. + + _William Ernest Henley_. + + + + + XXXIX. + + Oh, Sleep! it is a gentle thing + Beloved from pole to pole! + To Mary Queen the praise be given! + She sent the gentle sleep from Heaven, + That slid into my soul. + + _Samuel T. Coleridge_. + + + + + XL. + + What is more gentle than a wind in summer? + What is more soothing than the pretty hummer + That stays one moment in an open flower, + And buzzes cheerily from bower to bower? + What is more tranquil than a musk rose blowing + In a green island, far from all men's knowing? + More healthful than the leanness of dales? + More secret than a nest of nightingales? + More serene than Cordelia's countenance? + More full of visions than a high romance? + What, but thee Sleep? Soft closer of our eyes! + Low murmurer of tender lullabies! + Light hoverer around our happy pillows! + Wreather of poppy buds and weeping willows! + Silent entangler of a beauty's tresses! + Most happy listener! when the morning blesses + Thee for enlivening all the cheerful eyes + That glance so brightly at the new sun-rise. + + _John Keats_. + + + + + XLI. + + My sleep had been embroidered with dim dreams, + My soul had been a lawn besprinkled o'er + With flowers, and stirring shades of baffled beams. + + _John Keats_. + + + + + XLII. + + Sleep is a blessed thing. All my long life + I have known this, its value infinite + To man, its symbol of the perfect peace + That marks eternity, its marvellous + Relief from all the vanities and wounds, + The little battles and unrest of soul + That we call life. + Sleep is a blessed thing, + Doubly it has been taught me. All the time + I cannot have you, all the heart-sick days + Of utter yearning, of eternal ache + Of longing, longing for the sight of you, + Fade and dissolve at night and you are mine, + At least in dreams, at least in blessed dreams. + + _Leolyn Louise Everett_. + + + + + XLIII. + + Soon, trembling in her soft and chilly nest, + In sort of wakeful swoon, perplex'd she lay + Until the poppied warmth of sleep oppress'd + Her soothed limbs, and soul fatigued away; + Flown, like a thought, until the morrow-day, + Blissfully haven'd both from joy and pain, + Clasp'd like a missal where swart Paynims pray; + Blended alike from sunshine and from rain, + As though a rose could shut and be a bud again. + + _John Keats_. + + + + + XLIV. + + O magic sleep! O comfortable bird, + That broodest o'er the troubled sea of the mind + 'Till it is hush'd and smooth! O unconfin'd + Restraint! imprisoned liberty! great key + To golden palaces, strange ministrelsy, + Fountains grotesque, new trees, bespangled caves, + Echoing grottos, full of tumbling waves + And moonlight, aye, to all the mazy world + Of silvery enchantment!--who, upfurl'd + Beneath thy drowsy wing a triple hour + But renovates and lives? + + _John Keats_. + + + + + XLV. + + A sleep + Full of sweet dreams and health and quiet breathing. + + _John Keats_. + + + + + XLVI. + + Now is the blackest hour of the long night, + The soul of midnight. Now, the pallid stars + Shine in the highest silver and the wind + That creepeth chill across the sleeping world + Holdeth no hint of morning. I look out + Into the glory of the night with tired, + Wide, sleepless eyes and think of you. There is + The hush of some great spirit o'er the earth. + Here, in the silence earth and sky are met + And merged into infinity. Oh, God + Of all, Thou who beholdest Destiny + As simple, Thou who understandest life + From birth to re-birth, who knows all our souls, + Grant her Thy perfect benediction, rest. + + _Leolyn Louise Everett_. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Sleep-Book, by Various + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK SLEEP-BOOK *** + +***** This file should be named 16637.txt or 16637.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/1/6/6/3/16637/ + +Produced by Pat Saumell and Chuck Greif + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** + |
