Sleep tight, fair maid, forget the world and rest, <br />The time to put the day behind is now. <br />Let moonbeams dance upon your troubled breast <br />And angels smooth the furrows from your brow. <br />Be still, for sleep will cast away your cares, <br />To vanish like the shadows on your mind, <br />Your angels stay to make your worries theirs, <br />Your tangled woes to fathom and unwind. <br />Another day will dawn, another sky <br />Will bring grey clouds as sure as morning dew, <br />But when the sleep has left your inner eye, <br />You'll see beyond, you'll see a distant blue. <br />Now dream the dream, the mundane world postpone. <br />Sleep tight, the night belongs to you alone.<br /><br />Terry Donovan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sleep-tight-fair-maid/
