Sleep for me

     no friend is

and coming night

     to soon be

 

and the day

     too short to ‘tis

that at its end

     I need not rest

 

and the night

     too long is

much more than I

     do ever need

 

when to bed

     I do go

and the clock

     I do stare

 

till at last

     for hours few

darkness is

     and dreams reign

 

quick I awake

     refreshed not

without need

     one sleep more

 

I arise

     in the night

to go forth

     and await the day
