But in That Sleep of Death What Dreams May Come?
O GRANT me darkness! Let no gleam
—Recall the visionary ray!
Give me to sleep without a dream.
—Too often have I dreamt by day.
The dreams of day are all too strong;
Give me undreaming sleep, and long.
If blackest night be of the stuff
—Whereof sun-woven days are made,
I that have dreamed, and dreamed enough
—Tremble, of dreamier dreams afraid.
Give to the heart Thy dreams have blest
The dark unconsciousness of rest!
—Recall the visionary ray!
Give me to sleep without a dream.
—Too often have I dreamt by day.
The dreams of day are all too strong;

If blackest night be of the stuff

I that have dreamed, and dreamed enough
—Tremble, of dreamier dreams afraid.
Give to the heart Thy dreams have blest
The dark unconsciousness of rest!
