Sleep, Sleep without haste to wake,
Sleep and do not wake, now;
I will be waiting for you in my silver hall
and our meeting will be final…
Lean against this window, beautiful;
peering inside this charming dream;
the fancy dream of an auburn night
while sun and moon still on sight…
Sleep, Oh, Sleep my honey maid;
Golden is the beam of your smile;
Sleep, and do not wake now…
Hover in my watery realm;
I am the Lord; willing prisoner;
without hope to be released;
from your soul. Oh, Sleep!
Sleep as you come forward
into this warded portal…
this dream is sweet, sweet…
made with figments of you…
Sleep, sleep during the quiet hour;
Ah, sleep and wake no more;
living is deeper thoroughly the mirror…
Close your eyelids, still covered with dew…
Oh, please; I pledge; let me remain;
my realm is quickly fading away…
don’t rouse child, not before is our day…
In my garden, I will be waiting,
yours eyes to close once more,
when you cross the glimmering portal
and seize a bit of time, tiny and eternal…
Sleep, sleep again, youngling.
Now, sleep without interruption,
Sleep, so I can return with you by the portal…
