While She Sleeps
Harper's New Monthly Magazine
New York, New York
June, 1872
Tired of jest,
Kissed to rest,
Fled like a bird to its nest -
To my breast
Softly pressed,
Love is a gentle guest;
Sleep and rest!Breathing low,
Love shall grow
All its dear charm to know.
Flowers so
Hours thro'
Sleep i' the bud and grow -
Sleep and grow. |
