¶Lyrics / Text

Sleep little flower, whose petals fade and fall O'er the sunless ground; Ring no more peals of perfume on the air, Sleep long and sound, Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep! Sleep summer wind, whose breathing grows more faint, As night draws slowly nigh; Cease thy sweet chanting in the cloistral woods, And seem to die! Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep! Sleep, thou great ocean, whose wild waters sink Under the setting sun! Hush the loud music of thy warring waves Till night is done! Sleep, sleep, sleep! Sleep, thou tired heart, whose mountain pulses droop Within the valley cold: On pain and pleasures, fears and hopes of life Let go thine hold! Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep! Sleep, for 'tis only sleep, and there shall be new life For all at day; So sleep all, sleep all until the restful night Has passed away, passed away!" Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep!
