Sleep


The unchecked thought Wanders at will upon enchanted ground, Making no sound In all the corridors … The bell sleeps in the belfry—from its tongue A drowsy murmur floats into the air, Like thistle-down. Slumber is everywhere. The rook’s asleep, and, in its dreaming, caws; And silence mopes where nightingales have sung; The sirens lie in grottoes cool and deep, The naiads in the streams. T. B. Aldrich.—Invocation to Sleep.	1
We sleep, but the loom of life never stops; and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up to-morrow. Henry Ward Beecher.—Life Thoughts.	2
