The Horrors of Sleep
MrZombez
Sleep brings no joy to me :: Remembrance never dies :: My soul is given to mystery :: And lives in sighs :: Sleep brings no rest to me; :: The shadows of the dead :: My wakening eyes may never see :: Surround my bed :: Sleep brings no hope to me :: In the soundest sleep they come :: And with their doleful imag'ry :: Deepen the gloom :: Sleep brings no strength to me :: No power renewed to brave :: I only sail a wilder sea :: A darker wave :: Sleep brings no friend to me :: To soothe and aid to bear; :: They all gaze on, how scornfully :: And I despair :: Sleep brings no wish to fret :: My harassed heart beneath;  :: My only wish is to forget :: In endless sleep of death erase all
