Siegfried Sassoon - Slumber-Song
Work rating: Low

Sleep; and my song shall build about your bed   
A paradise of dimness. You shall feel   
The folding of tired wings; and peace will dwell   
Throned in your silence: and one hour shall hold   
Summer, and midnight, and immensity 
Lulled to forgetfulness. For, where you dream,   
The stately gloom of foliage shall embower   
Your slumbering thought with tapestries of blue.   
And there shall be no memory of the sky,   
Nor sunlight with its cruelty of swords.
But, to your soul that sinks from deep to deep   
Through drowned and glimmering colour, Time shall be   
Only slow rhythmic swaying; and your breath;   
And roses in the darkness; and my love.
