Go Away Sleepy Air

The night is getting deeper and deeper

My eyes are still opening wide

I must not sleep tonight

I must not eat tonight

I must not speak tonight



Creaky noise of the mill

is coming straight into my ear

I am by the rollers

which are winding speedily



I must be awake

to work the whole night

Is it okay for me or not?

I have no time to think this evening!



Anyway after midnight

sleeping air comes to me

It kindly holds me in its arms

then I feel sleepy



I like sleeping

I love dreams

But tonight

I must keep on working

"So,go away Sleepy Air,"I said.

And finally it has gone away.
