•       sleep, sleep, sleep
    In thy folded waves, O Sea!
        Till the quiet breathings creep,
    With a low-voiced melody,
        Out of the glimmering deep.
    For sleep is the close of life;
        ’T is the end of love, and its birth;
    ’T is the quieting of strife,
        And the silencing of mirth.
          Hush and sleep!
