At the Gates of Sleep |
| Listen to the night, hearken to the silence |
| The wind sings in fir-trees, forest’s music rings |
| Rueful is the tune, wailful the soughing |
| Soothing is the choir, murmur of the trees |
| Time to forget all the heartache and pain |
| Time to leave behind all the toil and travail |
| Here where the water mirrors a still sky |
| Here a fair place for a child to lie |
| Under the woeful sky, moss-grown our bed tonight |
| Here we sprawl in mellow darkness |
| In warm caress of the night |
| Far away from worlds betrayals |
| Afar from all the Heavens might |
| Better to dream, far sweeter to slumber |
| Than face the cold days, bear the grim longing |
| Time to rest a while, close the drowsy eyes |
| Sleep till the dawn, till the bleak morning |
| Heed not the rustle or hoots of the owl |
| Heed not the ghosts that still dwell in the soul |
| Night brings us solace and serenity deep |
| Night brings at last neverending sleep |
| Better it would be to sleep forever |
| In silent shades of the evernight |
| Sweet are the dreams in the groves of death |
| Far away from the earthly woes |
| Sound is the sleep under spruces boughs |
| Serene are the dreams in the darkling shade |
| Gone are the cares of the waking world |
| Forgotten the sorrows of the weary heart |
