SLEEP BOOK

I.

Peace, peace, thou over anxious, foolish heart, Rest, ever seeking soul, calm, mad desires, Quiet, wild dreams this is the time of sleep. Hold her more close than life itself. Forget All the excitements of the day, forget All problems and discomforts. Let the night Take you unto herself, her blessed self. Peace, peace, thou over anxious, foolish heart, Rest, ever seeking soul, calm, mad desires, Quiet, wild dreams this is the time of sleep.
