Sleep, Sleep, My Sweet One Sleep

Sleep, sleep, my sweet one sleep Let the film of Morpheus come Like a veiled mist And visit your eye-lids And in the airs around Invisible a sweet sylph sings A lulling lullaby. Sleep, sleep, my sweet one sleep And woes forget and ills And wrongs and plots And treacheries: Like a veiled mist Dreams are falling through Falling Falling Falling thro’ your eye-lids thick With the lead of Morpheus awhile A sylph doth sing A lulling lullaby. Sleep, sleep, my sweet one sleep And think of day and night And dusk and dawn And even As one film images pass Along your eyes a-dreaming a-dreaming A-dreaming Awhile A sylph doth sing A lulling lullaby.
