SLUMBER SONG.
Sloop: and my song .•■hall build about, your bed A Poradiso of dimness. You shall fed Tho folding of tired wings; and peace will dwell Throned in your silence; and one hour shall hold Summer, and midmuhl, mid immensity Lulled to forgetfulness. For, where you dream, Tho stately [doom of foliage shall embower Your slumbering thought with tapestries of blue. .And (hero shall bo no memory ot tbo sky, Nor sunlight .with its cruelty of awards. Put, to your soul that sinks from deep to deep Through drowned and gilnuucring colour, Time shall bo Only slow rhythmic swaying; and your breath; And roses in the darkness; and my love. —Siegfried .Sassoon,
