IN sleep I am not, I am gone
I am given up.
And nothing in the world is
lovelier than sleep,
dark, dreamless sleep, in deep oblivion!
Nothing in life is quite so
good as this.
Yet there is waking from the soundest sleep,
waking, and waking
new.
Did you sleep
well?
Ah yes, the
sleep of God!
The
world is created afresh.
