To Sleep I give my self away;
My will a rebel to the dark. The dark!
Soon barren judgements find my heart,
And in my dreams I muse. I muse and say:
So many worlds, so much to do,
So little done, such futile things to be.
But in this silence I will stay,
To dream my dream, and hold it true, what’s true.
As if my faith had gone to sleep,
I heard a voice, `Believe! Believe no more."
If Sleep and Rest be truly one,
In some long trance I slumber, slumber on.
