bright Lord Sleep
please untie Your black satin Robe
and wrap It around us once i have joined You inside Its Folds
merciful Lord Sleep
please take me thus into Your comforting, powerful Embrace
and make me forget the Embraces He would give me
Lord Sleep
please hold me to Your warm, thrumming Chest
and kiss softly my brown eyes so that i may forget His of blue and green
and when You have conquered me, Lord Sleep
please make sure that i have surrendered to You completely
so You can ward off any Dreams of Him that may wish to feed upon me
i beg You, Lord Sleep
keep closed both the Gates of Horn and Ivory
so that Morpheus and Your other Sons cannot come to visit me
i need just one night of surcease
i need to get up early and work tomorrow
i need one night with You undisturbed by Him
therefore, Lord Sleep
please take me into Your comforting, powerful Embrace
and make me forget this one night Him Who haunts me
